Aki's Market A project by Glenn Kaino white logo stacked

In honor of Glenn Kaino: Aki’s Market, JANM presents a special edition skateboard deck designed by Glenn Akira Kaino in collaboration with The Berrics. Once an “off brand skateboard kid,” Kaino’s experiences on the board helped shape his art career and world view. Combining the artist’s childhood love for skateboarding with the influential imagery of Katsuhiro Otomo’s animated film Akira, this one-of-a-kind piece similarly combines Kaino’s past experience with the present and future, as explored in the museum exhibition.

This board is also your ticket to a private skate session at the world famous Berrics Skatepark in LA on September 16, 2023 with Glenn. (Details to come)

This deck will only be available for sale on-site at the JANM Store. For online purchases, contact glenn-kaino-akis-market-deck.
