Stereo HHV Clothing

Stereo was founded in 1992 by renowned professional skateboarders and longtime friends Jason Lee and Chris Pastras. The brand came as a breath of fresh air during a time that many skaters felt that skateboarding had creatively hit rock bottom. Stereo’s unique and highly innovative approach to skating, with emphasis on style, originality and plain old fashion fun, was quickly embraced by the skateboard community. By incorporating street art, 50s and 60s design, jazz album cover artwork and ideas pulled from early men’s magazines, Stereo has been credited as revolutionizing skateboard graphics, artwork and advertising. The classic Americana styles Stereo produced – and continues to produce – carries with it a lightness and humor that promotes individuality and creativity amongst skateboarders of all ages. Together, Jason and Chris released two skateboard films: A Visual Sound in 1994 and Tincan Folklore in 1996. Going against the grain with the use of 8mm film, black and white still photography and avantgarde music – some of which composed by Chris and Jason – the two films are now revered as classics within the skateboard community. As fate would have it, however, Chris and Jason joined forces again in ’03 to re-launch Stereo under Giant Distribution. With a new team of skateboarders and other influential artists, musicians, actors and individuals dubbed Sound Agents, Stereo quickly gained momentum. Stereo parted ways with Giant Distribution in the summer of ’06 to pursue the independent route. The two partners wasted no time setting up shop and were fully operational within a matter of weeks. Today’s Sound Agents are considered to be some of the most naturally gifted and innovative skateboarders on the scene. The internationally diverse team consisting of Clint Peterson, Danny Supa, Benny Fairfax, Raymond Molinar, Dyson Ramones, Ben Gore, John Lupfer, Josiah Gatlyn, and Tony Karr is a true skateboarding force to be reckoned with.
