PALACE DROPS SPRING 2026 WITH SCHOTT NYC BOMBER COLLAB

Palace Skateboards just dropped its first collection of 2026, and the London skate institution is keeping things characteristically unfussy. ## The Schott Connection Changes Everything The collection's design vocabulary bridges the gap between technical outerwear and irreverent casual staples, but the real story here is Palace's collaboration with Schott NYC. Key highlights include a collaboration with heritage outerwear label Schott N.Y.C., manifested in a sleek black flight jacket featuring "Palace Division" branding and a co-branded grey thermal crewneck. The CWU bomber jacket has serious heritage. Originally engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions of military cockpits, the jacket has evolved into a cross-generational staple of urban style. Now a ubiquitous silhouette, the jacket was released in the 1950s, when the brand began issuing designs originally commissioned by the U.S. Air Force during WWII. Later, in the 70s, the jacket was slightly updated with light insulation and a boxier fit. This isn't Schott's first rodeo with fashion collaborations. Recent partnerships with mfpen and Octobre Éditions prove the New York heritage brand knows how to play the culture game without losing its military DNA. ## Palace Does Palace Things Palace Skateboards has unveiled its Spring 2026 lookbook, showcasing a collection that leans heavily into high-energy graphics and subversive streetwear tropes. The visual narrative is dominated by bold, aggressive imagery, most notably seen in a series of pieces featuring ethereal, smoke-like skull prints and a menacing, red-eyed canine graphic that anchors a high-performance GORE-TEX technical jacket. The rest of the lineup hits familiar Palace territory. Padded jackets with crest details, leather layers, camo shells, and technical tracksuits built for everyday wear. Texture plays a significant role in the spring lineup, ranging from the ruggedness of Realtree-lined canvas work jackets to the playful kitsch of a leopard-print high-pile fleece hoodie. These are contrasted by sporty, graphic-heavy jerseys and polo shirts that utilize vibrant purples and forest greens to inject a seasonal brightness. This season, the brand continues to play with its iconic Tri-Ferg logo, reimagining it through various lenses, including a "Tri-Realtree" camouflage iteration and a graffiti-inspired, hand-drawn version that reflects the label's roots in skate culture. ## The Drop Details First drop lands February 6, followed by February 7 releases in Japan, Seoul, Hong Kong, and China via WeChat. Palace Skateboards officially announced via Instagram that its new Hong Kong flagship store will open on February 7, 2026, marking the brand's highly anticipated first physical retail entry into China. Palace keeps delivering what works: accessible streetwear with just enough technical innovation to justify the hype. The Schott collaboration adds gravitas to what could have been another seasonal drop, proving that when Palace picks its partners, it picks winners.
