Palace works in collaboration with San Francisco skateboard company Spitfire on a limited collection full of skate-ready apparel designed specifically for the Summer 2023 season. The capsule is made up of graphic tees, caps, knitwear, and accessories -- all of which are ready for the skatepark.
This marks the second collaborative project by Palace for the season and this time, it highlights the iconic flame logo that is true to Spitfire. It takes on the 'P' shape as a nod to Palace and the co-branded motif makes its way onto the graphic tees. This takes on the palette of black, white, tan, grey, green, and red. Other items in the collection include cozy knitwear, baseball shorts, polo shirts, coin holders, and F4 wheels.
