Girl Skateboards’ new “Rainbow Collection” with Hello Kitty and Friends is landing at all your favorite shops across the country now—and this drop’s packing a few surprises.
A handful of lucky individuals will secure the limited Gold Foil and Silver Foil editions, each sealed in a classic blind bag, featuring special takes on the OG graphics. These decks were made to collect, no question about it, so tossing in a little mystery like this only turns up the heat, if you ask me. Take a look:
"@sanrio’s back with a rainbow twist: three rarity tiers hidden inside hologram-sealed bags," Girl mentioned on Instagram. "Most will pull the Original Rainbow decks, some will score Rare Silver Foil, and a lucky few will hit the Ultra Rare Gold Foil. The full drop is rounded out with matching apparel and accessories."
I'm happy to admit I don't know much about Hello Kitty, and honestly, the first time I saw Girl drop a Hello Kitty collection I was a little thrown off. But at this point, it almost feels normal. The collections are just as much a celebration of Sanrio's art as they are Hello Kitty specifically, but most importantly—people can't seem to get enough of it.
I bet you’d be surprised how many people actually roll into skate shops asking for these Hello Kitty boards.
Aside from the rare Gold and Silver Foil boards, the collection features an original run of the graphics, along with some apparel items and accessories as well. Look for it all at your local shop, or test your luck on the Crailtap site. I know this collection might not be for everyone, but for those who are eager to cop one of these rare planks, make moves!
