Palace Unveils Exclusive Collection for New Fukuoka Flagship Store
Palace Skateboards is set to open its third flagship store in Japan, and to celebrate, the brand has released a collection that pays homage to the city of Fukuoka. The collection features a redesigned Tri-Ferg logo with “Fukuoka” katakana and a “FUK U OK A” emblem, as well as references to the Amaou strawberry, a beloved fruit exclusive to the prefecture.
Branding-Heavy Range Redesigns Palace’s Iconic Tri-Ferg Insignia
The collection includes a variety of pieces, such as short-sleeve and long-sleeve T-shirts, jackets, bottoms, and accessories. The standout feature of the range is the redesigned Tri-Ferg logo, which now incorporates the katakana characters for “Fukuoka.” This logo can be found on a blue, white, and red track jacket and matching track pants, as well as on long-sleeve T-shirts in black and red or gray and blue. A keychain also features the emblem.
Playful “FUK U OK A” Logo Makes an Appearance
In addition to the “Fukuoka” logo, Palace has also debuted a reimagined “FUK U OK A” emblem on items like a black double-sided scarf, skate deck, pin, trucker hat, and short-sleeve T-shirt. This playful logo adds a cheeky touch to the collection.
Pay Homage to Fukuoka’s Amaou Strawberry
The collection also features references to the Amaou strawberry, a sweet and sizable fruit that is exclusive to Fukuoka. The classic Tri-Ferg icon is placed against a strawberry skin background on a selection of short-sleeve T-shirts, while the black varsity jacket features a strawberry heart on the back with Palace branding and the Japanese phrase “From England with love.” The front of the jacket also includes an embroidered Palace logo and “FUK U OK A” design.
Collection Available at New Fukuoka Flagship Store
The Palace Fukuoka flagship store will open on October 4, and the exclusive collection will be available for purchase. The store is located at 1-1-31 Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka, Japan. Stay tuned for more details on the opening.
