This next drop in our little run of super OG old school decks is another grail. The 1989 Steve Steadham Citizen X. Iconic deck and an iconic skater. In a time when black skateboarders were not nearly as common as today, Steve Steadham was a pioneer for many reasons beyond the color of his skin. Outsized influence on the vibe and culture of skateboarding. His graphics for Powell-Peralta (his first sponor) and later Steadham Skateboards (after he left PP) are some of the most influential and iconic in the history of skateboarding.
This is a Hall of Fame deck. Cream of the crop. MINT MINT MINT condition. Totally pristine. White dipped and minty clean.
This exact board was featured in the Beautiful Losers exhibit and was very hard for us to source even back in 2002/2003 when we were organizing the show. Pristine Mega Grail with impeccable provenance.
