Hook-Ups Deck Alice 2 (8.0) brings classic Jeremy Klein-era anime influence straight back to center stage with bold color, playful attitude, and that unmistakable Hook-Ups aesthetic. The graphic features a stylized blonde character inspired by a twisted fairytale theme, seated confidently against a deep purple backdrop with layered cloud-like tones. Her bright yellow hair, black bow, blue puff sleeves, and white dress pop against the saturated background, while the exaggerated cartoon detailing stays true to the brand’s original animation-inspired roots.
Beneath her sits a mischievous green character with a laid-back grin, holding a gold hookah with a small “Smoke Me” tag hanging from it—classic irreverent Hook-Ups humor that defined late ‘90s skate graphics. The colors are loud but balanced: rich purples, electric greens, glossy gold tones, and crisp linework that makes the entire composition read clearly whether it’s under your feet or hanging on the wall. The natural wood veneer frames the artwork cleanly along the edges, giving the deck that traditional pressed-maple finish.
At 8.0” wide, this deck sits in that responsive sweet spot—ideal for technical street skating, flip tricks, and quick direction changes. It’s the kind of board that feels right pushing through Alhambra sidewalks, popping flatground in Temple City, or dialing in ledges around Pasadena. The standard popsicle shape keeps it versatile and predictable, while the solid maple construction delivers dependable pop and durability for everyday sessions.
Hook-Ups has always stood apart in skateboarding, blending Japanese animation influence with skate culture long before it became mainstream. The Alice 2 graphic taps directly into that legacy—nostalgic but still sharp, playful but unapologetic. It’s a reminder of a time when graphics were loud, weird, and unforgettable—and that energy still resonates today.
