Due to the timing of the announcement, everyone assumed that SHUT’s $15,000 gold-plated skateboard was just an April Fools’ joke. Turns out it’s true, however, and New York skate shop have actually produced the board (we’re assuming it’s a one off) in collaboration with designer Matthew Willet. Measuring 31 1/2 inches in length, 8 inches wide, the weighing in at around 9 lbs, the skateboard is pretty much exactly the same as any other skateboard and includes fully functioning parts such as Independent trucks. To make sure you don’t scratch it up, it even comes with cotton archival gloves. If you’re keen to get your hands on this, it looks like you’ll have to contact the store directly as it’s listed as “Out of Stock” on the online store.
