The first drop of the Welcome Skateboards x Harry Potter collab is officially here—and for die-hard Harry Potter fans, this one is stacked.
It’s all filtered through Welcome’s lens, so between their iconic shapes and tasteful apparel items, the graphics feel less like licensed merch and more like a natural extension of what the brand already does best. But beware: this collab is sort of sparking some controversy as well. More on that later. For now, swipe through the post below and get a closer look.
Okay—the controversy. Spend a few seconds in the comments and it's clear this collab is sort of bittersweet in the grand scheme of things. Some folks are stoked, while the majority seem to be a little disappointed. Not because of the graphics, necessarily, but because of the current state of the world. I'm not here to add any fuel to any fire, though. Those who know, know. And that's all I'll say. Hop in the comments and see for yourself.
The debut drop comes stacked with decks, tees, hoodies, hats and more. And although the Harry Potter universe is taking center stage, the whole thing stays true to Welcome’s unique aesthetic.
In fact, at first glance, you might even forget you’re looking at Harry Potter artwork—it just feels like a strong Welcome drop. And honestly, that’s the magic of it all. There's something for everyone to enjoy here, whether you're a HP fan or just love skating Welcome boards.
Welcome is one of those brands that seems to collaborate with anyone, and this new collab is no exception. The gear is available now. Cop it if you want it... or just hop in the comments and add to the conversation.
