Some during the brainstorm for the brand's name came up with "Humble" but they finally chose KING.

I checked out the store and really ... this is it?
The much anticipated "KING SKATEBOARDS"?

So many cool things they could have done with this: First board of every rider should be them painted as an old king.

Future ideas:
- Famous old crowns series > painted
- dead pharaos (mummies) series in a "paper clippings" style.

They even could have gone the "hammer" route and print a realistic crown painting on the board, cut a small piece out of the wood and put a real (cheap plastic of course) gemstone in there ...

The brand is shit so far but TJ's not stupid. After seeing the negative reception he'll probably try to turn it around by hiring an art department and people who actually know what they're doing. Putting out a sick video will definitely help the brand. Either way, I don't care if they succeed or not. I'm not a fan of any of these dudes and would never support them. Especially Nak.

Yeah he’s super smart!   He’s hiring an art department months AFTER the brand has started.   Let’s stop with the Elon-ification of Tyshawn here.   He’s s good skater, but many many good skaters have blown it trying to run a board brand.  This is just 3D all over again

By what I've seen so far it seems like their whole thing is to just praise black people.

Read the link that's been posted above about 5 percent nation. They believe

"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization."

"The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."

A little shocking that King gets so much hate, but companies like Frog or All timers (who have equally if not worse graphics) get so much praise. I wonder what the difference is here...

Next graphic should be something with yakub  ::)

Don't really know how to feel about it. Sometimes I like the graphics from some christian board brands but don't support them, the same as scientology/ Berra backed brands.

I know I'm not the target group but those hotep afrocentrism kids getting all their education from TikTok vids and insta slides

Nice reach, but frog is fucking dumb too. Check my post history if you need to. Go point out some actual racism you fucking dweeb, theres plenty of it. No need to fabricate it.

Fuck it, black Israelite skateblords.

"Members of the group call themselves Allah's Five Percenters, which reflects the concept that ten percent of the people in the world are elites and their agents, who know the truth of existence and opt to keep ninety-five percent of the world in ignorance and under their controlling thumb; the remaining five percent are those who know the truth and are determined to enlighten the ninety-five percent."

"The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe."

Conflicting percentages   ;D

Id like some straight up corner store/gas station/bodega vibes. like maybe a black & mild wrap but it says black & strong instead? pen & pixel style covers (https://www.penandpixelcovers.com/ ) , some blunt wrap knock offs, dollar store vibes. Interspersed with some gold foil decadent stuff. Lean into the cheesy shit with the tongue firmly planted in the cheek and do it while looking good.

Maybe they could lean into the Black Book Store aesthetic and have like POC romance novel covers? Sorta like Lichenstein or the Why Can't My Boyfriend Skate? graphic but with some modern flourishes.

Haha that leather nun song rules

I give “King” 2 years tops.  Really bleak product.

Yeah, definitely Leather Nun’s best, along with “Slow Death.” It’s a really fun one to play on my night.

I think they will just see all the fire emojis on Instagram and think they’re doing everything right and “shaking up the industry.” Critical self-reflection seems a bridge too far.

You think that the current SOTY, who's in his mid-20s and living in NYC, is out of touch with skateboarding?

Can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not but my sentiment is who gives a shit about graphics, support them and cop a board
