Straight out of the Powell Peralta vaults, the Vallely Bug graphic was initially turned down by Mike himself, and almost lost to the Powell Peralta dusty archives.
Originally sketched for the Geegah shape, Mike went with the iconic Elephant design for his debut pro model—legendary in its own right. But now, thanks to Sean Cliver’s 'Disposable' for inspiration, this unreleased graphic is finally dropping on the classic Elephant shape.
Bonus trivia: The colorway? Printed half-scale on copy paper and brought to life with magic marker. DIY history.
