DC X SBTG Circus of Mutants

          The first collaboration between DC x RoyaleFam boasts three shoes, a pair of board shorts, two t-shirts and two hats all designed by SBTG. The design inspiration comes from the legendary skateboard crew called the “Circus of Mutants” who were famous in Singapore in the 80s and 90s. While SBTG himself was a member of this crew (along with other local legends “The Bat”, “Scorpion”, and “Frankenstein”), the first installment of the “Circus of Mutants” is based on Singaporean legend Lucas Ng.
           In the collection’s design, a fly has been used by SBTG throughout all pieces to pay respect to “The Fly” who was one of the early pioneers in Singaporean skateboarding, and one of the few who could really claim to have brought the sport to his native country. His early nickname was branded to Lucas by members of the “Circus of Mutants” crew because of the skateboarders unrivalled ability to spend more time in the air than on the ground. Lucas still, in the modern day, contributes to the skateboarding scene as owner / operator of two of Singapore’s finest skateboarding lifestyle stores.
