Hook-Ups Deck Alice (8.0) brings Jeremy Klein’s unmistakable anime-driven style into a clean, responsive 8.0" platform built for technical precision and everyday street skating. The classic popsicle shape keeps things familiar underfoot—quick on flick, easy to control on flip tricks, and perfectly sized for skaters who prefer a narrower setup for fast, snappy response.
The bottom graphic pops immediately with saturated, storybook color. At the top, the bold Hook-Ups logo arches across the sky in yellow and orange lettering with “The Original Brand” banner beneath it, set against a bright blue backdrop with soft pink floral accents. Centered on the deck sits the Alice-inspired character—blonde hair in pigtails, a black headband bow, and a stylized blue dress—posed confidently while seated on a purple mushroom. The illustration blends playful innocence with the edgy exaggeration Hook-Ups is known for. Crisp linework defines her expression, white thigh-high stockings contrast against glossy black shoes, and layered shadows give the graphic depth.
Toward the tail, bright green grass frames a small sign reading “Drink Me” next to a tipped-over bottle, completing the twisted fairytale reference. The entire composition is vertically balanced, drawing your eye from logo to character to detail without feeling cluttered. The color blocking—blue sky, purple mushroom, green grass—makes the artwork stand out cleanly whether the board is on the wall or rolling through a session.
At 8.0", this deck feels right at home for technical skating across the San Gabriel Valley. It’s ideal for quick ledge lines in Pasadena, manual pads in Alhambra, or fast flatground sessions around West Covina. The narrower width keeps it light and responsive, making it a strong choice for skaters who prioritize flick and control while still maintaining stability for park laps in Arcadia or street spots closer to El Monte.
Jeremy Klein’s legacy runs deep—from pioneering technical street skating in the late ’80s to founding Hook-Ups in 1993 and pushing anime-inspired graphics into mainstream skate culture. The Alice deck continues that tradition—bold, detailed, and unmistakably Klein—bridging art, nostalgia, and skateboarding in one graphic.
Whether you’re adding it to a Hook-Ups collection or setting it up for daily sessions, the Alice graphic stands out without trying too hard—clean shape, vibrant artwork, and rooted skate history.
