Key points

  • Two of Kingdom Hearts 2's skateboards have been transformed into actual decks.
  • There is a Sora design and a Roxas design with motifs from the sequel on the top side of each.
  • The decks cost $205 each and are exclusive to the Japanese Square Enix Store for now.



It's been a while since the last Kingdom Hearts game, and considering the lack of a release date for Kingdom Hearts 4, it'll probably be a while before we hear anything new about the next game, let alone find out when we'll see. play it. It's best to fill the Kingdom Hearts void in our lives with official merchandise from the series, and Square Enix just revealed something pretty special on that front.

The latest items to join the growing haul of unique Kingdom Hearts merchandise are skateboard decks. That phrase may have sparked memories of Kingdom Hearts 2 for some of you, and rightly so. The Japanese Square Enix Store has two models of skateboard decks, one for Sora and one for Roxastheir faces on the bottom of them. However, flip the decks over and you'll find replicas of the designs on the skateboards you could find and use in Kingdom Hearts 2.


The Sora skateboard has the black and white design of the skateboard in the Space Paranoids world of Kingdom Hearts 2, while the Roxas deck has the black and white design from Simulated Twilight Town. There doesn't appear to be an option to mix and match Sora and Roxas' designs, nor have any of the other skateboard designs from the sequels been made into real-life decks. You never know, maybe we'll get more in the future if they sell well enough.

Which one will you choose?


Speaking of selling quite well, I noted above that, for now, these decks are only available in Japan. That doesn't mean you can't buy them and ship them, although that will naturally increase the price, and it doesn't mean they won't eventually be available elsewhere. Square usually releases merchandise at its store in the US and elsewhere if it believes the products will sell well enough outside of Japan, and considering Kingdom Hearts' popularity around the world, it looks like these decks will eventually be available elsewhere.

Square Enix has transformed two of Kingdom Hearts 2's skateboard models into real-life decks. There are two designs available, one featuring Sora and the Space Paranoids skateboard motif, and a Roxas deck that has the Simulated Twilight Town design on the other side.

Decks cost 29,700 yen ($205)so you may want to wait for them to arrive in the US as that already quite high price will be further increased by shipping costs. It's also worth noting that store listings indicate that skateboards are for decorative purposes only. I'm not sure who would spend over $200 on a beautiful video game skateboard replica and then proceed to bolt on the truck and wheels so you can grind it on the tracks, but if you were thinking about doing so, Square strongly advises you not to.
