Dakine and Independent have teamed up once again on a skate-focused capsule collection “built for skaters [and] ready for whatever the day throws at you.”

Whether you’re rolling around from spot-to-spot, hitting the park for a BBQ, skating to school or just prepping for a long day of ripping, there’s something for everyone in the collection.
Personally, the Mission Street Backpack is stealing the show, though. It has a classic design. It’s functional. It’s the perfect skate pack!
