Palace Skateboards

Palace Skateboards has been a disruptive force in UK skateboarding since 2009, and NOTE has been backing it since the early days – when deliveries arrived wrapped in herby-scented bags and the Tri-Ferg logo was just beginning its ascent. Founded by Lev Tanju as a reaction to the skate scene at the time, Palace fused skateboarding with British street culture, humour, and unapologetic attitude. The result? A brand that brought midnight queues, global hype, and some of the most talked-about decks and videos in the game.

At NOTE, we now focus exclusively on Palace hardware – clean, high-quality decks that are made to be skated. But longtime customers will remember when we also stocked Palace clothing and footwear, including sought-after collaborations with brands like adidas, Umbro and Reebok. Whether you were copping limited-edition trainers or Tri-Ferg hoodies, Palace has always delivered the goods.

Palace Skate Team

The Palace team is one of the most influential in the world, rooted in the original Palace Wayward Boys Choir crew from Southbank. Early riders like Lucien Clarke, Chewy Cannon, Rory Milanes and Danny Brady set the tone with a style-first approach that blends street grit and technical finesse. Today, the team includes a full international roster with names like Lucas Puig, Heitor Da Silva, Kyle Wilson, Charlie Birch, Shawn Powers, Jahmir Brown, Pedro Attenborough and Ville Wester.

Palace Skate Videos

Palace made its name just as much through video as it did through clobber. Early clips set the tone with a 90s VHS aesthetic and tongue-in-cheek editing style that quickly became their trademark. With the release of Palasonic in 2017, Palace proved it could do full-length just as well as short-form chaos. More recent edits and videos like CTMY, Beta Blockers and Beyond the 3rd Wave keep pushing their visual language forward, all while showcasing the raw talent and personality of their ever-expanding squad.

Palace Collabs

Over the years, NOTE has proudly stocked Palace’s most memorable collaborations – including Palace x Reebok classics, football-inspired Palace x Umbro collections, and technical drops with adidas. Since those days its nigh on impossible to keep track of the collaborations the London brand have produced. From working with fashion houses like Vivienne Westwood and Gucci to workwear staples such as Carhartt and Dr. Martens, Palace has explored a full spectrum of partnerships over the years—even teaming up with Japanese brands like Beams Plus and Porter. They’ve also collaborated with institutions that are cherished by the British like C.P. Company and Stella Artois creating the now-legendary ‘Palace Artois’ collection.

Palace History

The story begins in a rundown flat behind Waterloo Station, ironically dubbed “The Palace” by its residents. That flat – home to Tanju and fellow skaters like Chewy Cannon – laid the foundations for a brand that would reshape the UK skate scene. Disillusioned by what was on offer at the time, Tanju started designing his own graphics and t-shirts, which quickly evolved into a full-blown brand. With Fergus “Fergadelic” Purcell behind the Tri-Ferg logo, Palace developed a distinct visual identity that felt both nostalgic and futuristic.

From screen-printed tees in skate shops to flagship stores in London, Tokyo, and New York, Palace’s rise has been meteoric – but always rooted in skateboarding.
