2PAC AGAINST THE WORLD
Primitive Skateboarding is proud to announce the release of its second board collaboration with 2Pac, in celebration of the late musician’s birthday - June 16. A longtime favorite photograph of Primitive Skateboarding Co-Founder Andy Netkin, the iconic shot used for this latest effort summarizes the everlasting activist spirit of Pac, captured through the lens of renowned photographer and life-long skater Mike Miller. Produced in limited quantities, the Primitive Skateboarding x Mike Miller x 2Pac deck is now available through primitiveskate.com, the Primitive flagship boutique, and through select brand retailers worldwide.
In conjunction with the project, Primitive Skateboarding also releases a short video with Mike Miller as he guides us through the day he shot 2Pac for his 1994 group effort, Thug Life: Volume 1, in Los Angeles, California.
