Summary

  • Mowalola partnered with THE SKATEROOM to serve up five collaborative skate decks
  • Entitled Cheetah, JC, Red, Moto, and Graffiti, the designs are available for purchase now

It’s Mowalola Ogunlesi‘s world, and we’re all just living in it. The mastermind behind Mowalola, the Nigerian-born creative multihyphenate continues to expand her multimedium Mowaverse through new in-line clothing collections and collaborations, music offerings, innovative art endeavors, and now, her first-ever connection with THE SKATEROOM for a lineup of limited-edition skate decks.

Serving up five designs that intertwine “Mowalola’s iconography, attitude, and sense of motion,” the duo brings the designer’s distinct visual language to decks dubbed Cheetah, JC, Red, Moto, and Graffiti.

“Each one is a piece of her language, reframed for the street, the gallery, or wherever you claim space,” the SKATEROOM website reads. “Cheetah” comes dipped in a striking cheetah print with “Mowalola” written in white cursive on the bottom of the deck, while the top, crafted from 7-ply Grade A Canadian maple wood, is stamped with the brand’s bubbly “M” logo. All five skate decks feature the same “M” design approach on top of the deck.

“JC” comes covered in silver foil, silkscreen printing, whereas “Moto” sees some of the designer’s infamous flipped logos.

Take a closer look at all five decks in the Mowalola x THE SKATEROOM skate decks in the gallery above and cop one for yourself now at THE SKATEROOM’s official webstore.
