Zero Skateboards has reunited with punk band The Misfits for the launch of ZERO A.D., a limited-edition collection celebrating the Misfits’ iconic Earth A.D. album. The collection features two skateboard deck styles, including a classic popsicle shape and a vintage cruiser, and each showcases bold album artwork that blends punk energy with skate culture.
Rounding out the release are exclusive apparel pieces, including a graphic T-shirt and hoodie, all designed to capture the rebellious spirit of both brands. Following the buzz around Zero’s recent neon Fiend Skull decks, the ZERO A.D. collection reinforces fan demand for authentic, limited-run collabs.
The full Zero Skateboards x The Misfits line is now available in select skate shops and online at ZeroSkateboards while supplies last.
