We are excited to announce our collaboration with JPN NATIONAL to bring you a wheel that pays homage to the iconic street skating culture of the 90s. Don't miss out on the exclusive apparel capsule drop available at jpnnational.com.

Renowned artist and skateboarder, Marty Baptist, shared his thoughts on the collaboration's graphics and wheel specifications:

"It's a true honor and a nostalgic nod, not only to the wheel brand but also to Australian skateboarding. The late 1980s and 1990s were my formative years in skateboarding, and Cockroach always had the best urethane. When funds were tight, we'd take our old Cockroach wheels and shape them down to around 50-48 mm in size at a friend's house, giving us a brand new set of wheels."

Now, in 2023, the result of our collab is an exclusive limited-edition graphic and premium street wheel, measuring 52mm/101a, known as "THE STREET ROACH." Its compound and size are perfectly suited for today's skating demands, and this collaboration has a deep-rooted connection that spans decades.

Marty Baptist still enjoys skating,"the motion of movement helps me free up my mind, I spend most of my time painting but I couldn't live without skateboarding."

His artwork is featured in numerous private and institutional collections worldwide. Over the years he has partnered with a diverse range of creative entities and labels, including Paramount House (Sydney), Cliché (France), Krooked Skateboards (USA), and many others.
