Brain Dead has released yet another collaboration for 2022, tapping THEM SKATES for a rollerskating and skateboarding-focused release. THEM SKATES is a sublabel of THEM GOODS, an independent brand founded by Jon Julio. This collaboration brings a pair of ‘THEM SKATES’ decorated in a brown and baby blue colorway, complete with an 80mm wheel frame and TPU Impact Resistant plastic. The skating frame features an abstract flame pattern, while THEM SKATES’ branding lines the uppers in addition to a Brain Dead logo on the rear collar.
The skates opt for contrasting baby blue laces and more Brain Dead branding on the blue wheels. The brand also has plans to unveil the ‘Dear Audrey’ project and skate release on July 26 to accompany the THEM SKATES collaboration.
