The models come in archival designs from the house ranging from “Bouclerie Modern” and “Sangles en zigzag” and start at $2,900. Fashion’s infatuation with skateboarding has been steadily trending for the past few seasons, as evidenced by the celebrity-approved [Louis Vuitton x Supreme collaboration](https://www.gq.com/story/supreme-louis-vuitton-collaboration-2017) and designer Demna Gvasalia sending [Thrasher sweatshirts down the Vetements runway](http://www.thefashionlaw.com/home/thrasher-hm-are-fighting-over-the-skate-magazines-flame-font); whether or not you’ll actually spot an Hermès board on the streets of New York City’s skateboarding mecca Lower East Side, however, remains to be seen. It will be sold at [various Hermès boutiques](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2017/08/16/hermes-skateboard-longboard/) around the world and online starting late September. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4905616/hermes-skateboard/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4905616/hermes-skateboard/"},"headline":"You Can Now Spring For a $3,000 Hermès Luxury Skateboard","datePublished":"2017-08-17T20:55:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:36.300Z","description":"Yes, really","url":"https://time.com/4905616/hermes-skateboard/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Bizarre","fashion"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf6b8635800e623c/6988da2eab6d773dbb6af728/hermes-skateboards.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf6b8635800e623c/6988da2eab6d773dbb6af728/hermes-skateboards.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FRANCE-TRANSPORT-AVIATION-AIRPORT-CDG","caption":"FRANCE-TRANSPORT-AVIATION-AIRPORT-CDG","creditText":"AFP—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4905616/hermes-skateboard/","name":"You Can Now Spring For a $3,000 Hermès Luxury Skateboard"}}]}] ```
