About Jenkem

Jenkem started as a Brooklyn skateboarding magazine in 2011 and quickly became the voice of underground skate culture. Founded by Ian Michna, the publication built its reputation on unfiltered interviews, deep dives into skateboarding history, and features that other magazines wouldn't touch. Their infamous Jereme Rogers interview and behind-the-scenes tours of skate brand headquarters show the real stories behind the industry.

Beyond editorial content, Jenkem creates skateboard accessories and apparel that reflects their no-bullshit approach to skate culture. Their t-shirts, hats, and skateboard accessories carry the same irreverent energy as their magazine content. Connected to NYC's tight-knit skate scene through brands like 5Boro and Fancy Lad, Jenkem represents the raw, unpolished side of skateboarding that corporate media often misses.
