Louis Vuitton is taking a new approach for their new Sprouse Collection. The luxury brand created two limited edition pieces, a Stephen Sprouse graffiti skateboard replete with a hard case monogram skateboard trunk, and a Stephen Sprouse “Roses” T-shirt that will only be available at the SoHo location. The company hopes to sell three graffiti skateboards with trunks for $8,250 each, and 70 T-shirts for $250 each.

The collection will launch in its entirety at the SoHo boutique on Thursday, January 8. The complete worldwide launch will follow on Feb. 2, though the Rose pieces will be available at Louis Vuitton stores worldwide starting Friday, January 9.

Proceeds will benefit Free Arts NYC, which provides underserved children throughout New York City with special arts programs. Vuitton is also making an undisclosed donation to the Sprouse Estate, as well as the Stephen Sprouse Memorial Scholarship Fund at the National Academy for Design here. Now the question is, who would want to skate a 8,000 setup? BALLIN!
