Before the bolts and the flat-top, there was the original. The Edison Shaped Deck is a limited-edition tribute to Edison Studios' 1910 short film Frankenstein — the very first time Mary Shelley's monster ever flickered to life on screen, more than a century ago. Created by graphic artist Tim Baron (@timbaronart), this deck honors the silent-era roots of horror cinema with art befitting the monster that started it all.
This is a deep-cut collector's piece, released in two stained colorways: 50 Red Stain and 50 Black Stain — and that's it. Once these 100 boards are gone, The Edison goes back in the vault. No restocks, no second run. Each colorway is a strictly limited edition for fans of monster-movie history and original skateboard art.
Built on an old-school shaped deck silhouette with traditional 7-ply maple construction, The Edison delivers the durable, sturdy, and poppy feel you want from a true shaped board. The medium concave profile keeps your feet planted and in control whether you're carving transition, cruising, or slashing the bowl. It measures 9.3" wide and 32.25" long, with a 14" wheelbase, a 7.75" nose, and a 7" tail — generous, stable dimensions dialed for confident old-school riding.
Skate it hard or hang it on the wall as a piece of cinema and skate history — either way, The Edison is one for the collection. When it's gone, it's gone.
