Long-time fans of the Kingdom Hearts franchise eat up any glimpse of information or drip of merch about the game, salivating at the opportunity to spend just a little more money on the series. But who can blame them when you have exclusive skateboard decks from Amiami that are as gorgeous as these two?
Both decks feature artistic representations of Sora and Roxasâthe franchiseâs two main characters throughout the yearsâwith story-specific keywords coming together to create their hair and clothing. Theyâre unique and eye-catching on both sides, with the top of the Sora board featuring intricate emblems and symbols reminiscent of tribal artwork, and grim bone art on Roxasâ.
These two boards, made of Canadian Maple, are meant for something other than riding. Theyâre showpieces designed to hang on your wall or sit on a shelf. But youâd still be the best person ever if you decided to screw that, and slap on some trucks and wheels.
Thereâs a catch with these two unique skateboard decks, however. Theyâre limited and exclusive, meaning you can only buy one of each deck per household, and theyâre relatively expensive at nearly $200 when converted from Japanese Yen to USDâthatâs significantly more than, say, Santa Cruzâs recent collab with PokĂ©mon, although perhaps thereâs slightly less chance of their resale value hitting the highs of $20,000
Furthermore, itâs important to note that these are currently pre-orders. The official release date for each skateboard deck is listed as sometime in January 2025, though the retailerâAmiamiâdoes not provide a more specific date. Lastly, the store does warn that shipping costs may increase due to the size and weight of the package. Given itâs coming from Japan, international shipping costs must be considered. Youâre looking at far more than $200 per deck, but then perhaps youâd consider that a price worth paying for a unique board based on your favorite game series?
