A retro throwback ride that lets you experience the fun of switchblade combs and sidewalk surfing. Bringing together the two brands on a Z-Flex Mr. Chipper board, the collaboration has been created to hold two Uppercut Deluxe combs and a tin of Uppercut Deluxe Pomade.
“We are so proud to be able to collab with Z-Flex on this Mr
Chipper Deluxe model. I remember one of the very first skate photos I
saw as a kid was Jay Adams on a Z-Flex board which always sticks in my
mind as pure and raw skateboarding; when style and attitude was
everything! It’s so rad to come together and create this board years
later to combine our passions of skateboarding and barbering in a slick
and destroy model!”- says, Luke Newman, one of the founders of Uppercut
Deluxe.
The collaboration includes the Z-Flex X Uppercut
Deluxe collaboration Mr. Chipper board (Solid American oak deck, 46mm
Z-Flex trucks with 87A soft cushions, 50mm 83A urethane wheels, Abec3
Stainless Steel open case bearings), 2 Uppercut Deluxe Combs, a tin of
Uppercut Deluxe Pomade and a Z-Flex X Uppercut Deluxe collaboration
t-shirt. The whole pack is then put in the custom Uppercut Deluxe X
Z-Flex collectors box.
About Uppercut Deluxe
Inspired by the timeless style of the 1950’s barbershop and its
spiritual founder, Willy “Uppercut” O’Shea, Uppercut Deluxe is a modern,
yet traditional approach to men’s grooming. An Australian born brand
proudly made with only the finest ingredients, Uppercut Deluxe delivers a
core range of high quality grooming products for men without all the
fancy embellishments of salon brands.
The brand was built by the creative brains, passion and hard work of Luke Newman and Steve Purcell, childhood friends with a love for barbering, surf and skate.
Newman discovered the world of barbering while staying in Portland Oregon with a friend building skateparks after his school years. Around the corner from where Luke lived was a cool old-style barbershop located next to a café where he'd get his daily coffee from. Every day he looked inside the barbershop and admired how barbering was just such a timeless trade and establishment that really cultivated community. He knew it was a job he could do forever. He came back to Australia, looked for an apprenticeship and the rest is history.
About Z-Flex Skateboards
Z Flex has long been responsible for product innovation, being a pioneer in development and testing urethane wheel designs. The standard clay wheels from the roller skating industry did not provide a smooth, fast ride, since they lacked retaining and grip qualities. Z-Flex developed the abrasion resistant Z Smooth wheel specifically for boardwalk skating, followed closely by Z Grooves, a one-of-a-kind, faster, smoother wheel with a formula which most of today’s wheels are based upon.
Z-Flex 2nd Generation riders and product innovations continued to think outside the box, maintaining Z-Flex as an industry leader. Z-Flex is responsible for the first skateboard in history to utilize a concave on the board’s top-side. This revolutionized the direction of board design. You will find “concave” on almost every skateboard on the market today.
