Black Label Deck Elijah Akerley Black Cat (8.75)
A bold split-stain bottom sets the tone—mustard-gold up top with the Black Label flame stamped near the nose, melting into deep midnight at the tail. Centered is a poster-style panel: a prowling black cat on a red field, white eyes glowing, flanked by vertical name plates for ELIJAH AKERLEY and brushed kanji accents. A thin border frames the art so it reads from far away as you push across Old Town bricks or cut the long SGV sidewalks. Flip it over and you’ll find an assorted orange top stain with a row of small flames burned in above the rear bolts—every board a little different.
Sized for fast lines and stable landings: 8.75" x 32.25" with a 14.5" wheelbase on a Standard Cut popsicle for plenty of platform without feeling sluggish. Pressed in 7-ply hardwood maple laminate for lasting pop and a solid, familiar flex whether you’re charging Monrovia park, rolling campus tiles in Claremont, or eyeing those South Pas ledges.
Since 1988, John Lucero’s Black Label has flown the punk-raw flag—graphics that hit, shapes that skate, and a team of lifers. Elijah Akerley fits the mold: all-terrain power with clean style, the kind of skating that makes this black-cat graphic feel more like a warning label than luck charm.
