Founded in 1992 by Jason Lee and Chris Pastras, Stereo Skateboards quickly earned a reputation for blending skateboarding with art, music, and visual storytelling. Known for its clean aesthetics, jazz-influenced graphics, and influential video releases like A Visual Sound, Stereo helped redefine skateboarding’s creative identity in the ’90s.
By promoting artistic expression and curating a diverse roster of riders—including Marc Johnson and Rodney Mullen—Stereo stood out as a brand rooted in culture as much as performance. Their collaborations with musicians, designers, and filmmakers established Stereo as a pioneer in lifestyle-driven skateboarding. Today, it remains a beloved independent brand, continuing to inspire with its timeless visuals, grassroots support, and deep connection to skateboarding’s creative core.
