此次BK的最新系列——Thug Life，以美国西海岸HIP-HOP风格为主,深色背景辅以明亮的红色玫瑰花和绿色的大麻叶等色彩鲜明的元素，鲜明的对比给人以强烈的视觉冲击。
Thug Life系列也是BK再一次以人性本色作为设计理念，如暴力、欲望、信仰......其中三款以骷髅造型为主的板面通过不同角度的骷髅头骨形象揭示了不同群体略带野性和原始的风貌，蛇、蝎子、蜥蜴等动物的陪衬，也暗示出在人性中透露出的狡猾、冷漠和残忍.
另外两款设计则侧重于表现野性背后蕴藏的欲望和信仰，“美女”款着重强调其身前的十字架，代表了欲望与信仰的完美结合。而“上帝之手”的设计则带有强烈的宗教色彩，白鸽旋绕合十祈祷的双手完美的传达出对善良与和平的向往，一切邪恶的欲望终将在信仰面前黯然失色。
设计师也希望通过这一系列作品揭示最原始的人性本色，进而带给大家一种前所未有的心灵震撼。正如设计师本人所说：“这不仅仅是滑板，也是体现人类本质的一个范本！”
