Deluxe Distribution's Thunder Trucks recently announced that the Rancho Cucamonga skate artisan Akwasí Owusu would be their guest artist for their upcoming collection.
Owusu's artwork is known for its combination of traditional African aesthetics and contemporary pop culture.
His work often uses bright colors, bold patterns, and intricate details, creating eye-catching and thought-provoking pieces.
The goofy-footed skater's work often explores identity, cultural heritage, and the relationship between Africa and the West.
Thunder Trucks is well known for its high-quality skateboard trucks, and they have been at the forefront of the skateboarding industry for over 30 years.
The company has a reputation for supporting the arts, and its collaborations with artists have been a significant part of its brand.
The collaboration between Thunder Trucks and Owusu features the Pro Edition Trucks, Short-Sleeve Tee, and Custom Wax, all adorned with Akwasí's one-of-a-kind mask and signature emblem.
