Three Powell Peralta Reissues Land January 15th — Limited Runs
Powell Peralta's history runs deep, and this January they're pulling three classics back out of the archive. All three are limited edition decks — once a run is gone, it's gone — but every quantity listed on our site is real, guaranteed stock. No overselling, no backorders. What you see is what's available.
Mark your calendar: January 15th, 2027. Here's what's dropping.
Per Welinder Street Shape — Nordic Skull
Per Welinder's Nordic Skull graphic is one of the most recognizable pieces of art in Powell Peralta's catalog, and this reissue brings it back in a dark green colorway with gold detailing. The artwork comes from VCJ (Vernon Courtlandt Johnson), the illustrator behind most of Powell's most iconic decks from the brand's golden era — the Skull & Sword, the Ripper, the Steve Caballero dragon. If you know VCJ's work, you know why collectors chase these.
The street shape keeps this board functional as much as it is a piece of history — this isn't just a wall-hanger, it rides.
Steve Caballero Chinese Dragon
The Cab Dragon needs no introduction. Steve Caballero's Chinese Dragon graphic has been reissued more times than almost any other deck in skateboarding, and for good reason — it's one of the defining images of vert and street skating in the '80s and '90s. This run comes in a khaki brown and forest green colorway, a more muted, earthy take on a graphic usually seen in brighter reds and golds. If you've been waiting for a version that doesn't scream for attention but still carries all the weight of the original, this is it.
OG Geegah Ripper
The Geegah Ripper is Powell Peralta at its rawest — the classic Ripper skull graphic, no frills. This reissue comes through in a hot pink, black, and blue colorway that leans straight into the loud, high-contrast energy the Ripper series is known for. It's a deck that looks as good on a wall as it does getting put through actual runs at the park.
Why These Reissues Matter
Powell Peralta reissues aren't just nostalgia plays. They're a direct line back to the era that shaped modern skateboarding — VCJ's illustration work, the Bones Brigade roster, and shapes that riders are still drawing from decades later. Picking one up isn't just about the graphic; it's about riding a piece of the sport's actual history.
Made in Mexico, Limited Quantities
All three decks are made in Mexico and arrive in strictly limited quantities. Once a colorway sells out, it's not getting restocked — so if one of these has your name on it, don't wait until January 15th to figure out which.
Order now while quantities last.
