Evisen Skateboards was founded in Japan by Katsumi Minami & Kazuhiro Hamaguchi in 2011 and has developed into the most renowned Japanese skateboard brand of today. Reasons for this can be found in the creative & stylish skate footage by their team riders Laurence Keefe, Shinpei Ueno, Koichiro Uehara, Seimi Miyahara and Shor West. Plus, in their clothing collections which skillfully merge Western and Japanese traditions into colorful and creative graphics which are then applied to T-Shirts, Hoodies and more.
Do you come from a land down under? If you don’t know this phrase, you’ve probably lived in a hole your whole life. Not the topic, sorry. Passport Skateboards. Founded by Trent Evans in 2009 to fill the gap in the Australian skateboard scene with a decent Australian brand, by skateboarders for skateboarders. Fast forward to 2020, Passport Skateboards is the Australian skateboard brand. Why is that? Well, their team is made up of pros like Jack O’Grady, Josh Pall, Callum Paul and Mattlok Bennett-Jones. Their video output, including the full-length KITSCH, is next level. Just like their skateboard and clothing collections, which are released three times a year. Bucket hats, work shirts, logo & graphic t-shirts, hoodies, everything that makes a skateboarder’s heart beat faster.
