The Zoo York Institute, in association with Def Jam and Cornerstone Promotion, is proud to announce an exclusive collaboration that celebrates the recent release of Ghostface Killah’s critically-acclaimed new album, “The Big Doe Rehab.”

This highly-anticipated collab features a co-branded skateboard deck and T-shirt adorned with custom graphics that pay homage to Ghost’s new album, as well as the abundance of AKA’s the hip-hop icon has adopted over the past fifteen years.

Limited to less than 500 promo-only pieces and slated to release in early February 2008, these co-op collectibles will be available exclusively through in-store and online promos from Def Jam, Cornerstone, and of course, the Zoo.

As part of their 2 year anniversary celebrations San Diego boutique 5 & A Dime continues to collaborate with some of the brands that they carry. Before we have seen collaboration on t-shirts with The Hundreds and Rogue Status.

Now they collaborated with Hellz Bellz on a t-shirt. This tee features the Hellz Bellz transparent bubble logo. Only available for girls.

For the guys they have a Crooks & Castles collaboration waiting. The wave pattern shown in the logo is the latest design used in the Crooks Illuminati Fall line.

Last but not least they collaborated with Rogue Status and Zoo York on a skate deck. The design on the board looks, as if somebody placed lots of stickers on the board.

The Zoo York Institute is proud to announce the release of two highly-anticipated new series of collaboration artist decks – Makeset and Broken Windows – both of which are now available at authorized Zoo retailers.

Makeset is a design collective comprised of two Brooklyn-based artists/designers/makers – Mike Perry and Zoo’s very own in-house creative mastermind, Damien Correll.  Long-time friends and regular collaborators, over the years the two have joined forces on several ‘zines, prints, and other acclaimed art projects.  The tag team duo’s new series of Zoo York pro models feature custom graphics that are a playful spin on NYC’s iconic landmarks, renowned architecture, and bustling neighborhoods.  From Coney Island, Times Square, and the East River, to the Brooklyn Bridge, Flatiron District, and Chrysler Building, the Makeset Artist Series provides a unique visual narrative on the Big Apple.  
The Broken Windows Artist Series is a custom creation brought to life by a covert design collective affiliated with Zoo York.  Keeping it dark and gritty like New York City, the graphics on this collaborative series of pro model boards reflect the wide range of typography, graffiti, and scrawls plastered all throughout the city’s five boroughs.  Cleverly designed so the graphics from one board bleed onto the next to form a complete set (aka, polyptych), the inspiration for this series was derived from a challenge to the 80’s era Broken Windows theory that was adopted by the Giuliani Administration as a way to clean up city streets by cracking down on graffiti, petty crime, and other forms of perceived “vandalism.”
