Thunder just dropped Tyshawn Jones’ newest signature trucks, and these certainly aren’t your average trucks.

Designed with flat black hangers and textured black/gold baseplates (I personally love that textured look), TJ's new pro edition trucks bring the same style and performance Tyshawn brings to the streets. Available in 148 (8.25”) and 149 (8.5”). Peep these gems below:

Like most Thunder trucks, these things are lightweight, responsive and ready to rip. The Opaque Black 90DU bushings promise a smooth ride and an already-broken-in feel, while the gold bolts tie the overall vibe together perfectly. They're flashy, but functional. Again—very Tyshawn.

On and off the board, TJ continues to prove he’s a force to be reckoned with. The dude makes the tough stuff look easy. He has otherworldly pop and power. Add in his calm confidence and low-key presence, and you’ve got a skater rewriting the rules on his own terms day after day. How many glass ceilings can one guy shatter?

That said—where has the dude been!? We haven't seen any wild viral clips recently? A few adidas drops here, a few events there... otherwise, TJ has been pretty quiet. Should we be expecting something big? Fingers crossed.

Regardless, Tyshawn's new Pro Edition Thunder trucks are officially out in the wild. Hit your local and cop a pair. And since you're here, learn more about Thunder's new T-II trucks below. Less wheel bite? More control? Say no more.
