QUICK OVERVIEW OF PASS~PORT AND THEIR MOST RECENT COLLECTION
The inspiration for the PASS~PORT comes from various places - travel, friends, Australian heritage and various collaborative efforts that have helped shape the identity of the brand. Currently the team consists of a tight knit group of skateboarders from the west & east coast of Australia, not to mention also the Motherland, NZ. The team is growing, with recent additions from USA & UK, spreading the word of "COMMUNITY" for the brand.
PASS~PORT Skateboards is the creation of Australian Trent Evans who realised that there is a huge lack of progressive skateboard brands in his homeland when he was on a journey through America. In line with the motto “Do It Yourself”, PASS~PORT was established in 2008 and since then, the brand has steadily gained popularity worldwide. Nevertheless, the brand located in Sydney hasn't forgotten its roots and still supports local artists and skateboarders.
Pass Port is diverse designs and great results
Whether it's impressions made along their travels, collaborations with friends and equal-minded artists, or influence from Australian culture - PASS~PORT draws inspiration for its decks' designs from various sources. This is responsible for the unique style and the brand’s identity. You'll notice that behind every product, whether skateboard or PASS~PORT streetwear, there is high attention to detail and the urge to push and develop Australian skateboarding.
It’s easy to see that the term “community” is deeply embedded in the ethos of the brand when you take a look at the PASS~PORT team. It includes a tight-knit group of skaters with names like Callum Paul, Josh Pall, Geoff Campbell, Nik Stipanovic, Dean Palmer, Adelaide Norris, Billy McFeely and Jack O´Grady.
Next to numerous small videos, the brand/team attracted attention with TransWorld Skateboarding's “The Cinematographer Project, World View: PASS~PORT” as well as with “TOKYO” from 2016, “Good~Bye VX” released in 2017 and their latest full-length video "Kitsch".
