The new League of Legends skins created to commemorate SKT T1's most recent win at Worlds have been previewed previously to detail their creation process, and next week, the skins will hit the Rift for players to purchase.

While the skins that are created for League of Legends champions typically have an all-out esports vibe attributed to them, these won't exactly fit that bill. Some of the elements are still there, but the overall appearance of the skins comes with a gold and red-themed design on all of them except for the kkOma ward skin made for the coach of SKT T1. These aren't the first skins that SKT T1 have received by any means, but the most recent additions look fantastic.

The full list of what skins are coming, along with links to their spotlight videos on YouTube, can be found below:

News from SKT T1's Twitter account yesterday got fans of the team excited when the players announced that they'd be previewing the skins as a team on Twitch, but the wording of the announcement made viewers think that the skins were being released a bit sooner. They weren't released today as some would have hoped, but they will be released worldwide on July 5 according to a clarification from Riot Katana.

When they release on next Wednesday, these champs' skins will be available for 1350 RP each. At this price, it was expected that the skins would have custom sounds to accompany each product, but that wasn't the case when they were first previewed. After players questioned where the sounds were and why they weren't being included at such a price, Riot clarified and said that they'd be adding the sounds in after all.

"We're still planning to release these skins at 1350RP in Patch 7.13, but we will release an update to them soon after that adds in sounds and checks those boxes," an update announcement read. "Honestly speaking, we're not sure if the skins are necessarily better for it. That's why they weren't part of their original design. But we also don't feel that we're holding up our end of the bargain otherwise."

If you want to get another look at the skins before they hit the Rift, you can check out some of SKT T1's streams, such as Faker's, where they showcased their skins in-game.
