Fire Skate Deck
Work Summary & Collector Notes
This 2016 Fire deck is a standalone Kai & Sunny skateboard on Featherlight 3 dyed veneer, 8.25 inches wide and roughly 80 x 20 cm, issued signed in a tightly limited edition of 10. It applies the duo's fire motif to a functional board in a far smaller run than the colette collaboration decks.
Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 10. The saved release record describes: signed. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
An edition of just 10 makes this Fire deck one of the scarcest formats Kai & Sunny released. The slightly wider 8.25-inch face and the standalone nature separate it from the 100-set colette version, marking it as a distinct, more exclusive object for serious collectors of the duo's skate work.
Collector Perspective
At only 10 examples, availability is minimal and each copy is meaningful. Collectors should verify the signature and the condition of the dyed veneer, and note the 8.25-inch width, which distinguishes this from the wider colette-series edition. Its rarity makes provenance and condition especially important.
Historical Context
Kai & Sunny's fire imagery recurs across their element-themed work of the mid-2010s. This ultra-limited 2016 deck reflects the artists' willingness to issue tiny, signed editions on skate hardware—treating the board as a legitimate art object rather than mass merchandise.
