Rough Trade x Slam City Skates Lo-fi T-Shirt - White

In 1986, Slam City Skates first opened its doors, situated in the basement of Rough Trade on Talbot Road. Just two years later, the store underwent a significant transition, relocating to Neals Yard in Covent Garden. This time, the roles were reversed, with Slam City Skates now occupying the upper level, while Rough Trade took up the basement space. The basement space would later host one of the smallest Beastie Boys gigs in history, adding to the lore of Slam City Skates as one of the world's most renowned skateboard stores.

In 2006, Rough Trade and Slam City Skates went their separate ways, marking a significant chapter in their shared history. Sixteen years later, fate brought them back together as neighbours once more. In 2017, Slam City Skates opened its Dray Walk store on Go Skateboarding Day, conveniently situated across from Rough Trade East.

To close out the summer, we are thrilled to introduce a limited-edition t-shirt designed by none other than Fergus Purcell, the creative genius behind many iconic Palace skateboards graphics and the legendary Tonite clothing label. Tonite first emerged through Silas & Maria and later evolved into Aries, making this collaboration a must-have for those in the know.
