The Plan B Nixon Soundclash Project is a series of skateboard gear and mobile speakers that will be released as [limited editions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-skateboard-deck). Each package comes with a [skate deck, skate wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding) and a matching [Nixon TPS mobile speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiaiai-and-brain-dead) set.

The packages come in five different colorways, and each colorway is dedicated to a different Plan B pro-skater. The five featured skaters are Paul Rodriguez, Danny Way, Colin McKay, Tory Pudwill and Ryan Sheckler. The accompanying video shows off each of the pro-skaters with their particular deck. The video really emphasizes the color of each deck and also (of course) the Nixon TPS portable speaker.

The Plan B Nixon Soundclash Project will be released at select boutiques on October 15th. Choose your favorite color and get to cruising around town, listening to tunes and getting into trouble.
