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.

Has there ever been a more British statement than "The cabbie thought I'd broken a rib or somefing, but I was fine i went to see Matilder at the theatre 2 hours latah."

[@berdandogan4115]

Yes a sentence where the queens English has been used

[@geraldbraxton1092]

[@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.

[@wanyekest5766]

WHY DO I ALWAYS EXPECT HIM TO HAVE A RUSSIAN ACCENT???!

[@MisterExcelsior]

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

[@clintoncoleman7978]

[@samburns6405]

[@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.

[@TheLelel333]

[@henriknilsson4222]

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

[@jordancapewell1925]

Magnus finally got a haircut

[@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.

[@daniellikhtar]

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

[@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)

[@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

[@kamilbanks8895]

this is a great video, love the way he explains his experience!

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

that skate tape was mental when watching the whole entire film

[@CasperHRyen]

he must be so happy with the footage of the crash

[@mecares3898]

thought it was magnus

[@NollieNegro]

he looks like he was already rich prior to starting his own company. I see no struggle in his passions.

[@arntd123]

Antonio Williamson does one need to be poor - to achieve struggle?

[@chenugent]

So you're judging based off of how he looks.....when he's rich

[@blackwater6146]

𝖇𝖗𝖚𝖍 theres no struggle. thames and his artwork are both wack
