DC x Jessup Griptape

Just when you thought the ongoing collaboration craze had gone and died, there's a new area of collabo on the rise and this one comes via an often overlooked skateboard component... griptape.

DC Shoes has just announced a collaboration with longtime griptape manufacturer, Jessup. The DC branded griptape will feature various screenprinted DC logos and will be available for mass consumption via a co-branded box.

Here are some quotes from authorities on the matter:

"DC is the perfect partner," says Bud Smith of Jessup. "They have a long-standing commitment to skateboarding and unbelievable team. We continuously seek to align ourselves with the core brands that continuously build skateboarding."

And one from DC and Jessup rider, PJ Ladd:
"The original skateboard griptape. Perfect grip, no holes, plain black."
