Frank’s Chop Shop (FCS), a New York based full-service traditional barbershop, announces its first-ever collaboration to create a limited edition skateboard with legendary original New York City skateboard company SHUT. Together with SHUT, Frank’s Chop Shop will release only 151 exclusive collectable decks designed by acclaimed trendsetting artist, Steve Ellis.

The FCS/SHUT board is a unique extension of the very popular collector’s edition of the SHUT Blade board series, as well as another offering in a series of Frank’s Chop Shop exclusive limited edition products. FCS will celebrated the launch of the limited edition SHUT skateboard decks with an art gallery exhibition on Monday, March 3rd  from 6-9pm. FCS transformed into a temporary art gallery for one night where the FCS/SHUT deck was on display along with original barbershop inspired artwork by Steve Ellis.
The board is now available. Check out more pictures of it and the gallery opening after the jump.
