Prepare to die... in style. Welcome Skateboards and Dark Souls have teamed up on an official collaboration with FromSoftware and BANDAI NAMCO, and the full drop is now at The Dark Slide. Four decks, a stack of garment-dyed tees, a waffle thermal, a mesh football jersey, a hoodie, a "YOU DIED" knit sweater and dad hat, and a custom canvas jacket, all pulling from the bosses, knights and death screens that made Hidetaka Miyazaki's series a legend.
Since the first Dark Souls landed in 2011, the series has built a reputation for punishing difficulty, cryptic lore and a fanbase that wears every death like a badge of honor. If you've ever lost a run of souls to a ledge in Lordran, this one's for you.
