Western Edition, a San Fransisco skateboard shop (the finest since 99), has designed this series of boards based on Miles Davis’ 59′ band – 5 of the musicians who played on the legendary Kind Of Blue record.
They’re being produced in celebration of the album’s 50th anniversary and Western Edition’s 10th birthday.
From left to right we have: Paul Chambers – bass, Bill Evans – piano, Miles Davis – trumpet, John Coltrane – tenor sax and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Amazing.
Check out the Western Edition site for more other breathtaking decks, like the Hard Edge series; an ode to the painting movement of the same name started by Los Angeleno painters in the 50’s and 60’s.

Those are so cool!
Holy SHIT, those are cool.
So… I guess I’m taking up skating now.. these are so cool! I want to collect all 5!
This rules!
More research has revealed the possibility of a Miles t-shirt. We should all learn to skate anyway, yeah?
They’re incredible. Who needs to skate when you can put them up on the wall and admiiiiiire.
