We’re always wary of writing about skateboarding, they’re a pretty precious bunch, but given the rise of brands like Palace in recent years, maybe the skate scene need not be a closed shop. Why should nice clothes be confined to lads with a catalogue of broken bones?

Applying a punk ethic to a 90s street aesthetic, Scum are a disruptive bunch whose latest crew sweat release bears a logo with a striking similarity to another brand.
We won’t pretend to be tuned into the nuances of what makes it what it is, but we like it, and for us with our broken bones in single figures, that’s enough.
