Miles Davis ‘59 Quintet Skateboards

Growing up I was more into surfing than skateboarding, but one look at Western Edition’s Miles Davis ‘59 Quintet Boards, and I’m ready to hit the local skate park immediately. If there were any doubt about Miles Davis’ everlasting appeal to creative types look no further than these awesome, Ian Johnson-designed skateboard decks; a celebration of the musicians who played on the legendary Kind of Blue 50 years ago.

Maybe you’d prefer to catch mad air with John Coltrane under your feet. Or grind with bassist Paul Chambers. I will take all five please! The series includes two tee shirts featuring the Miles Davis graphic and a quintet of postcards included with each board. Cannonball Adderley and Wynton Kelly, also part of the Blue sessions, were not included. [via rad collector]
