The Ben Raemers Foundation have just unveiled a limited release in conjunction with Liverpool’s Lost Art and us here at Slam City Skates…
Tuesday 4th November would mark Ben Raemers’ 35th birthday, and this clip of Ben grilling and shredding, filmed by Kevin Parrott, is a poignant reminder of how much he is missed. To mark this moment in time The Ben Raemers Foundation have released some limited edition t-shirts and a board with all proceeds from sales going towards maintaining the momentum of this important charity. The board and shirts all feature the inimitable artwork of Slam alumnus, and foundation founder Rob Mathieson…
Ben’s two shop sponsors represented in this limited capsule from The Ben Raemers Foundation
Rob has tied the two shops together on the t-shirts with a riff on the iconic doghouse graphic that is synonymous with the foundation. On the shirts Ben is wearing the crocodile suit from the clip above in his usual position while Snoopy wears a rat costume to represent Slam. The front print features Ben outside Lost Art, with the backprint showing him sat outside of our shop. The board graphic references a classic Slam collaboration enjoi graphic that Rob produced for us with the Lost Art croc replacing the panda, and a bag of sweets replacing tins. We were both very happy to have had Ben on our respective squads, and it seems like just yesterday that we welcomed him to the team.
Shop with us for these limited products from The Ben Raemers Foundation and keep the light of this legend alive.
