If you are an avid skater with a love for music, you can purchase this deceiving [skateboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards) for just $60. Although the painted on [boombox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-technology-tech-brand-kickbacks-discman-is-nostalgic) doesn't play music, I'm sure you can work around this little glitch by just listening to your [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-npod) while you skate. **Implications** - Products that appear different than they are can add mystery and intrigue while differentiating themselves from existing product designs.
