Blondey McCoy: Life of a 20-Year-Old Fashion Icon, Artist and Skateboarder | HYPEBEAST Diaries

Our industry operates like a well-oiled machine, moving at a consistent pace that stops for no one. In an effort to slow things down, our DIARIES series follows a subject through a normal day in their lives. We get to see firsthand into their routines and to share what they think and feel at an exact moment. For our inaugural episode, Palace skater Blondey McCoy spent the holidays in New York City with us.
The 21-year-old skater not only talks to us about what it’s been like to skate for Palace since the age of 14, but also recounts walking away from a freak taxi cab collision while filming Palasonic. Additionally, he talks about his interests beyond skating which include his personal brand Thames, a collaboration with Fred Perry, his jewelry project and his passion for art and music which can be seen in his “Us and Chem.” work and Burberry campaigns. Take a look above to learn more about Blondey and be on the lookout for fresh skate videos and product releases from Palace in the near future.

[@MisterExcelsior]

Wanye Kest he definitely looks like a slav I assumed the same LOL

[@clintoncoleman7978]

[@samburns6405]

It’s the jacket and oh he looks kind of Russian

[@Dannycarry]

He's half Lebanese

[@shinaomisanya5367]

Same.

[@AlexGarcia-ke3qq]

Brah. Blondey is really good at what he does his art always impresses me idk why people don’t really talk about him that much.

[@skankwave5245]

mm okay

[@Lukas-dm1yu]

Lol

[@trillhennyson2245]

Marvin Jacobs i really vibe with that vrotendo no one except me APPRECIATES the way Blondey talks really close to the mic to give me fat asmr tingles. I am the only person in the world who even notices this and that makes me pretty sick right lads ?

[@aarond9563]

No like honestly!

[@Guwaposteven]

That’s good high key. It doesn’t get to his head and he stays underground.

[@ThoereProductions]

boy i love magnets running

[@bigstunna2049]

[@chimpinator005]

i see you everywhere man you were featured in jacob wallace's new video

[@ogreavesx]

Only 20. Wow 👊

[@gregorydoyle4804]

...for young people i think its very important to do things you don't want to do. the lessons you'll learn from it may spare you having to do things you don't want to do as an adult.

[@dnkys]

You haven’t lived in and around soho if you haven’t been hit at some point at any speed

[@goorilar]

[@denvernuckollsmusic]

Super inspiring to do this much in all of these different creative fields. And only at 20. (Also I see you with that joji music, Hypebeast)

[@daniellikhtar]

i freakin loveee blondey hes such an amazing individual and such an inspiration.

[@moistybrown1919]

Magnus ronning is it you?

[@callum3973]

3:18 this is totally true, skating is at its prime when youre on your own and not trying to impress or show off to anyone! the key aspect of skateboarding is doing whatever you feel like is fun

[@by_milo]

After this i want to see a whole documentary. He is a very cool person!

[@mdilla-nh5ek]

i look up to him so much.

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

that skate tape was mental when watching the whole entire film

[@ImBlackIvy]

He’s living the dream fashion icon and skateboarder

[@Unstable_Luis]

[@aarond9563]

[@henriknilsson4222]

Smart and mature for a 20 year old. Cool dude!

[@ButterfingerBB]

That intro caught me off guard so hard

[@CasperHRyen]

The car straight up said YEET

[@matthewhoonan7838]

Love the joji music!

[@thecitizenjoan]

He’s so handsome and charming and clean looking. That’s why he’s probably so unrelatable to many skateboarders. I know he said he’s doesn’t think so but, I’m sure he realizes people take him pretty seriously or wouldn’t be so well known but it’s skateboarding so a certain measure of seriousness should be thrown out the window anyways.

[@davek5749]

McCoy's,the man that is doing it for,us Brits,keep up the good work,👌👌👌👌
