Santa Cruz X Stranger Things

Calling all collectors and 80s skate culture enthusiasts: the explosive collaboration between Santa Cruz Skateboards and Stranger Things is back! When the dark universe of the Upside Down meets Jim Phillips' legendary graphics, the result is a series of old school / reissue skateboard decks that are simply unmissable.

Legendary 80s shapes for a unique vintage style

For this capsule collection, Santa Cruz has brought back its vintage molds. Far from modern popsicle boards, these reissue decks feature the iconic shapes that shaped skateboard history: a generous tail, a flatter nose, and an ideal width for bowls, ramps, or committed cruising.

Each Santa Cruz x Stranger Things deck captures the series' key aesthetics with a high-quality finish (glossy print, retro effects, and sometimes even glow-in-the-dark or embossed treatments depending on the model).

Hardware & Setup: how to equip your Reissue deck?

Whether you want to hang your board on the wall or set it up to shred the concrete at your local spot, choosing the right gear is crucial:

• Skateboard trucks: Given the width of these old school decks (often over 9.5"), we recommend pairing them with wide skateboard trucks (size 159 or 169) for optimal stability.
• Wheels & Bearings: For a comfortable retro cruiser setup, pair them with soft, fast wheels. Be sure to equip the whole thing with precise skateboard bearings to keep your roll smooth and fast.
• Pads / Risers: Essential on old school setups with large wheels to prevent wheelbite during hard carves.
