“Pokรฉmon is highly recognizable with a massive fanbase in the skateboard community, including myself, so for this collection I wanted to make more than a traditional branded deck,” Bear Walker said as part of the press release announcing the capsule collection. “I’m setting out to make functional works of art featuring Pokรฉmon and iconography that fans love in the custom style my decks are known for.”
“PokemonCenter.com is on a mission to deliver new and unique ways for Pokรฉmon fans to express their passion for the brand with premium merchandise and this collaboration with Bear Walker is the perfect way to continue delivering on this promise,” Cindy Ruppenthal, director of e-commerce at The Pokรฉmon Company International, said as part of the same press release. “We couldn’t be more excited to show fans what Bear has planned for these Pokรฉmon skateboards featuring his famous eye for meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovation.”
