Palace Shreds With Oakley on First-Ever Snowboard-Specific Drop
Presenting a plethora of printed Puffas, reworked Oakley eyewear and a board built in collaboration with K2.
For its seventh winter drop, Palace Skateboards is pivoting from the streets to the snow for its first-ever snowboard-specific selection of apparel and accessories. In collaboration with adventurous eyewear aficionado Oakley, Palace is providing a plethora of cold-weather performance gear that draws inspiration from Oakley’s 1990s archives and is aptly equipped to carry wearers from the slopes all the way to après.
The sky-inspired “day cloud” and “night cloud” prints dominate the capsule’s color palette, which, respectively resemble a daytime sky and nighttime sky. The prints appear on the duo’s striking array of technical puffa jackets as well as atop the mesh venting on the matching soft-padded snow pants.
Further down the line comes an array of fleece and lycra-panelled Sherpa fleece zip-ups as well as technical jerseys crafted solely from wicking fabrics to ensure optimal heat regulation. A handful of co-branded Tri-ferg t-shirts round out the apparel front.
The duo also delivers a collaborative footwear offering as part of the collection: a sport-inspired sneaker entitled the Oakley Edge Flex, that comes crafted from water-resistant fabric and is further defined by its chunky rubber soles and ballistic upper.
Winter sports heavyweight K2 Snowboarding gets on board as well, contributing a co-branded snowboard, with other accessories spanning a pair of goggles and corresponding MOD 1 Helmet, caps, beanies, gloves, backpacks, balaclavas and a new version of Oakley’s “Clifden” sunglasses.
Peep the Palace x Oakley range in the Lev Tanju-shot lookbook – which features Palace skate team’s Juan Saavedra and Charlie Birch – in the gallery above, and shop the collection when it drops on Friday, November 15 at the official Palace webstore.
