Work Summary & Collector Notes
Star is a 2018 skate deck, an eight-color silkscreen on Featherlight 3 dyed veneer in an edition of 75. Part of a four-deck series that also includes Wave, Circle and Cross, it was offered both as a single deck and as a set of four, translating Kai & Sunny's motif language into functional skate objects.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition of 75. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Star is one member of a coordinated four-deck series, and complete matched sets of all four (Star, Wave, Circle, Cross) are the most desirable configuration. The eight-color silkscreen on dyed veneer is a rich treatment for a deck, and the shared edition of 75 makes assembling a full quartet a genuine collecting challenge.
Collector Perspective
Individually the deck is accessible; the greater difficulty is assembling all four in matching condition. Sealed, unridden decks with intact graphics are preferred, as veneer edges and shrink-wrap are prone to wear. Collectors building the full series should track edition consistency across all four designs.
Historical Context
The 2018 deck quartet (Star, Wave, Circle, Cross) reduced Kai & Sunny's vocabulary to elemental symbols on skate hardware, reflecting the duo's ongoing engagement with skate and street culture through functional editions.
