Product Spotlight - Clown City of God Decks

Clown Skateboards have teamed up with acclaimed London-based creative agency, AllCityX, to pay tribute to one of the most legendary films to ever come out of South America: 'City of God'. This super limited collection is being released with the permission of the owners and distributors of the film, Wild Bunch and The Festival Agency, to celebrate the film's 21st anniversary and to coincide with its theatrical re-release meaning these Clown City of God decks are a must-have for any film buffs.

Set in the eponymous Cidade de Deus suburb of Rio De Janeiro in Brazil, 'City of God' depicts the rise of organised crime in the favela between the late 1960s and early 1980s and the cycle of violence that followed. The film offers a raw depiction of life in the favelas and the struggles faced by residents trying to escape the violence, with the film being loosely based on real events and many of the actors coming from the favelas themselves.

To honour the spirit of the film, proceeds from these Clown City of God decks will go to the Cidade de Deus Skate-Arte group to help support community action in the heart of the Brazilian favelas where the film was made, because we all know Clown are all about giving back to the community. Likewise, the Clown City of God decks are made with sustainability in mind, using maple from areas under a forest conservation law which aims to maintain and regenerate biodiversity as well as recycling all of their waste products to help give back to the planet.
