Palace Fall 2026 Drop 2: South2 West8 Full Collection Lands, Bringing Mountain Gear Fully Into Skate Life

Palace Skateboards' second drop this season is anchored by a full South2 West8 collaboration, with the River Trek Jacket leading alongside a matching trucker cap set. Also arriving are the "Palazzo" technical set and the "Luv U" mesh two-piece.

This time around, Palace Skateboards isn't treating South2 West8 as a one-off accent piece — it's building an entire kit around it: jacket, top, bottoms, even a matching trucker cap. That's a departure from Palace's usual collab rhythm, where a single hero item is typically enough to carry the buzz. Here, South2 West8 is clearly being given equal footing with the brand's own mainline pieces.

Leading the charge is an Olive Camo River Trek Jacket, the heaviest outerwear piece in the whole collab, rounded out by a Tri Fergtom T-shirt and Track Bottom for the top and bottom halves. A separate trucker-themed lineup joins in too, made up of a Trucker Cap, Trucker Hoodie, and Trucker Jersey — all three built along the same lines, making the collaboration read less like scattered co-branded pieces and more like a complete, ready-to-wear outdoor kit.

Palace's own mainline offerings, meanwhile, lean back into familiar territory. The heavyweight here is the "Palazzo" series — a shell-material jacket paired with matching shell pants, plus a jersey and a cap, forming a complete four-piece set available in White, Black, and a colorway dubbed "Classy Blue." From the naming to the material choice, everything about this set emphasizes shell construction, making it the most technical-leaning offering in the whole release.

By comparison, the "Luv U" mesh two-piece feels noticeably more laid-back. The jersey-and-shorts set is done in perforated mesh, available in Black, Leopard, and White, with the leopard print standing out as a rare patterned option in this batch, while the other two colorways stay solid. From the same batch, the "Tibetan Potala" long sleeve handles the graphic duties, offered in White, Perfect Blue, and Grey Marl — a relatively understated approach that lets the print itself do the talking behind the name.

Closing out the drop is the "Pigment College" varsity jacket, finished with pigment dyeing in The Deep Green, Black, and Navy. The pigment-dye process naturally gives each piece a slightly weathered look, so none of the three colorways come off too clean — more like something that's already been worn in for a while.

The release rolls out across three time zones: Friday, August 14 at 11am local time in the UK, Europe, and the US; Saturday, August 15 at 11am local time in Japan, China, and Australia; and in South Korea at 12pm local time.
