ACE Trucks x Carhartt WIP
Carhartt WIP has collaborated with California brand ACE Trucks on a selection of skate items, available as part of Carhartt WIP’s F/W24 collection.
Included is a set of two ACE AF1 trucks, constructed from aluminum alloy and steel, featuring an anodized baseplate in Carhartt WIP orange, as well as a co-branded, engraved hanger. The selection also includes a collapsible T-Tool made from steel, featuring an engraved axle and kingpin, an inbuilt Phillips & Allen key, and a griptape file.
Accompanying the release is a skate video shot in Paris by filmer Romain Batard, featuring Carhartt WIP and ACE team riders Max Palmer, Raph Langslow, Noah Mahieu, Marine Bourdais, Maité Steenhoudt, Amélien Foures, Ewing Ayala, and Guy Azulay. Alongside the video is a series of action shots captured by photographer James Griffiths.
The ACE AF1 trucks and T-Tool will be available as part of the F/W24 collection from September, with the accompanying video launching online in October.
ACE Trucks was founded in 2007 by Joey Tershay and Steve “Shrewgy” Ruge, under the mutual goal of creating the best performing trucks in skateboarding. In 2017, ACE welcomed third partner Joey Pulsifer, and four years later, released the AF1 – also known as the strongest cast truck on earth – marking a pivotal point in ACE’s evolution. Today, the brand continues to operate globally, offering a range of AF1, Low and Hollow trucks, in addition to accessories and apparel.

Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) develops its own collections based on original Carhartt workwear. The brand combines authentic adaptations of these robust American archetypes, while engaging with the subcultures that have embraced it. This, in turn, has seen Carhartt WIP place itself in a new context and bring forth its own classics.
Carhartt WIP opened its first store in London in 1997 and today operates over 80 brick and mortar locations worldwide. It also has its own skate team and music department, while supporting an array of artists and releasing various in-house publications. Since 2010, Carhartt WIP has worked with a number of like-minded collaborators, including A.P.C., Converse, Fragment Design, Junya Watanabe, Nike, Underground Resistance, and Motown.
