The Deck That Defined an Era
The Powell Peralta OG Skull and Sword Reissue brings back one of the most recognizable graphics in skateboarding history. Born out of the 1980s Bones Brigade era, this deck reconnects riders with the roots of modern skate culture through an authentic old-school shape and a gold foil graphic that commands respect on any terrain.
Powell Peralta Reissue Construction
Powell Peralta reissue decks are pressed to the same standards the brand has upheld for decades. The old-school shape features a wide, squared-off nose and a distinctly longer wheelbase geometry compared to modern popsicle shapes, giving riders a planted, stable platform suited to transition skating, pools, carving, and street sessions alike. The graphic is printed and foiled to preserve the detail and depth of the original artwork.
Old-School Shape for Every Terrain
The OG Skull and Sword profile is equally at home on a backyard ramp, a concrete park bowl, a pool coping grind, or just rolling the streets. The wider nose and tail geometry rewards skaters who want more foot room and a lower center of gravity on transitions. Whether you grew up skating in the 1980s or you are discovering the old-school movement now, this shape delivers a riding feel that modern popsicles simply cannot replicate.
Iconic Skull and Sword Graphic
The Skull and Sword artwork is Powell Peralta's signature image, originally rendered for the Bones Brigade generation. The reissue stays true to the original composition: a skeletal hand gripping a sword through a split skull, layered over a dramatic sunburst background in bold contrasting tones. The gold foil treatment adds a premium metallic depth to the graphic that photographs as striking as it looks in person.
