While some brand partnerships just seem logical, the collaboration between Palace Skateboards, Nike, and the England national team feels truly special. This partnership has been developing for years through shared projects and a commitment to culture, and now it’s reached its biggest expression yet: a World Cup film starring England icons Wayne Rooney and Jill Scott, hundreds of fans, and a creative concept that connects today’s game to England’s ancient history. A full collection of clothing and accessories will be released soon, with details to be announced.

It seems unlikely that a skateboard brand like Palace and a rolling paper company like Rizla would team up, but that’s what makes their new collection so interesting. Launching on May 29th, the summer 2026 capsule brings together Palace, a major force in London’s skate scene, and Rizla, a brand deeply rooted in British counterculture since 1796. The 14-piece collection doesn’t feel like a typical collaboration; it feels like a natural meeting of two brands that have always shared a similar cultural vibe.

Okay, so things are heating up, and Palace just keeps dropping amazing stuff! After a bunch of huge releases and collabs already this season, they’ve officially launched the fourth part of their Summer 2026 collection. This drop is all about those pieces you wear when the weather’s changing – think bold sweaters, really good quality basics, and shorts perfect for summer. It’s exactly the kind of cool, unique style Palace is known for – always on top of what’s happening in culture and not afraid to be different.

We were in the car, listening to the radio – I think it was a Beatles station. A Beatles song was playing, and my wife said she didn’t recognize it during the first verse. But when the chorus started, she realized she did know it.
