Tyshawn and Nakel’s board brand is called King skateboards

[skate_or_dingus]

 Yeah it's Midas fuck I'd say.

there's a documentary on the rise of king skateboards? the company hasn't even been around for a year

[Ghost Face]

This is like the greatest hits of a band that only has one 5 track ep. 

[caiiro]

damn you minimalist logos!

[slimvanilla]

they haven't come out with apparel nor dropped a decent board graphic. if anything, they've gone downhill rather than risen up.

[RichardBarkley]

What a fucking joke

[manysnakes]

Amazing that they're doing a photo essay called "Zenith" about their six month old brand which basically no one who isn't paying an unhealthy about of attention to skateboarding has heard of.

[doublesteveburger]

any paris pals seen a king skateboard in the wild?

[PatrickSkateman]

No one thinks that Zenith is a way to generate hype for the brand using the Adidas connect?

People just want to hate on King because they don’t like Nak and think Zach Saraceno still has Illegal Civ funk all over him.

I personally dig the brand and want to see what they can do.

Are other, better reasons needed to hate a brand?

Pretty much everything about the brand is half assed and lazy, they haven't even slapped their shitty logo on a t shirt yet lmao

People hate on King cause the graphics are bland and Tyshawn is making a documentary on the "rise" of a brand that hasn't even been around for a year.

hardies supreme wasn't really good
but I like the hardiest logo


I dont really know what makes me want to buy boards if its the art direction a cool name like toy machine or stacked team.
I mean I prefer good looking boards and have color preferences on top and bottom ply but otherwise who cares.
but looking at the website of king (the name just isnt really creative) is depressing. I dont really get the direction and color choices. next to that numbers looks like a good idea.
I would skate the nakel boards

Nah, it's just half-baked. I was really rooting for Tyshawn but King is pretty bad.

This is why I continue to posit my theory that all these pro mini-brands are just tax write off schemes.

[doublesteveburger]

the rise of any company doesn't warrant a documentary till it's been around long enough for it to actually make sense

though i feel that the people that don't understand that are probably the people that this thing is catering to


rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble

On second thought, this might seem like putting the cart before the horse, but I believe Tyshawn has a lot of "The Power of Positive Thinking" and "The Secret" energy in him, and this is another attempt to manifest his destiny as great and powerful individual.

[Dante Bichette]

This does make me wonder how long King will be around I’d have to imagine they fucked up a big bag not putting the logo on shirts idk who would wanna walk around with that corpo ass logo but some people like this enough for decks to sell out. Either that or Tyshawn is forcing all his restaurant employees to buy the boards themselves.

Even worse he's paying his employees in King decks.

Did they spell Zander’s name wrong

[HeapsCool]

How can none of you tell that this an art show?

[lurkluke]

How can none of you tell that this an art show?

An art show about the "rise" of something still has to be about something that has risen. Unless it's all an elaborate Andy Kaufman style art troll... but I'm 100% sure it isn't

Selling out means nothing if you only press a bunch of boards

I hope Tyahawn does a TED X talk on staying grounded.
