MATT HENSLEY KINGSIZE LE EAGLE, G SERIES

The legendary Hensley King Size Limited Edition Eagle, G Series is now available to pre-book at the H-Street store. The G Series have all different treatments on dyed wood and are handmade at Legend Skates with original silk screen techniques by Screaming Squeegees here in California. It’s made with all original specs including the Old School hole pattern.

The Hydro Dip is a special treatment that creates a totally unique background image and the image on this page is a representation of the process.

Flocking is a custom screen process that essentially makes a felt like surface. It’s inspired by 60’s and 70’s psychedelic posters and Screaming Squeegees pioneered this technique many years ago. It’s not commonly used, and it makes a better wall hanger than actual rider. We have no idea how this is going to turn out but hoping for the best.

The graphics to the Kingsize Eagle were drawn by Francesco Jekill Albertini, who was inspired by bold, single color printed deck graphics from the 70’s and figured that Matt would really like such a simple and bold concept, he was right.

The Italian skate artist found the American Eagle as the perfect image and inspiration and the Kingsize Eagle would become one of H-Street’s most treasured designs and iconic art of the 80’s era and it’s now officially available for the first time in many years from when we did the A through F Series. When asked about his design process, Jekill said this;

“I always thought about this rule: 1st have an idea; 2nd figure out how it will arrange on the board; 3rd try to make it properly, also considering screening implications. Well, I went through the process and kept it one color and super clean as I told myself. Then after some weeks or months, I can’t tell, I went to visit San Diego again, and simply presented it to Tony, Mike and Matt himself, without anyone having asked for it and not even any plans about making a new board/graphics for Matt being in place. I always loved this attitude at H-Street, where things just happened this way, out of instinct and passion. “
