UPDATE: Palace Releases Third Commercial for Ralph Lauren Collab

News broke earlier today that three billboards popped up in Tokyo teasing an upcoming Palace and Polo collaboration. This is the first time that Polo has officially done anything in skateboarding, but the brand was a staple for skaters throughout the ‘90s. This nod to skate fashion’s yesteryear is an incredibly dope move by Palace. Skateboarding’s love affair with Polo is a direct offshoot from street culture in that era You can learn more about that moment in time by viewing Complex’s documentary on hip hop’s influence on the brand from earlier this year, which is embedded below. We’ll update this post as more information becomes available.

The resulting collection — which consists of menswear items like tops, pants, outerwear and accessories, including a classic Polo Oxford button-down shirt featuring the logos of both brands — is set to drop “imminently” and was inspired by Polo pieces that Tanju and Skewis have worn throughout their lives. “It’s the only brand that you can wear to a board meeting, a funeral and go to the football in — and all in the same day,” said Tanju. Price points will be consistent with Palace’s usual offering, where a t-shirt can go for $60 and a jacket can go for $230.

No word on an official release date, but we’re assuming we’ll be seeing something in the coming weeks. Palace’s next Winter ’18 drop is on October 19.
