Rough Trade x Slam City SkatesRough Trade and Slam City Skates coexisted for many years and our recent collaboration celebrates that relationship. Slam began life in the basement of Rough Trade’s Talbot Road address in 1986. This brief two year arrangement proved to be enough time for the skate shop to outgrow this subterranean arrangement and in 1988 a new incarnation of both businesses would open in Covent Garden. The new space in Neal’s Yard flipped the script on the previous partnership and saw Rough Trade inhabiting the basement with Slam upstairs. We very much enjoyed sharing a building together, until both businesses expanded, and we parted ways in 2015. We have many fond memories of this time, some funny anecdotes, and many dear mutual friends.12 Sept 23
