Vladimir is PRO

Every year we turn someone or something within skateboarding PRO. Someone or something that we think makes skateboarding great.

We, like everyone else involved in skateboarding, owe skateboarding. We wouldn’t have existed if it weren’t for skateboarding. When we started out, the skate shops were the first shops to take us on. We are skaters ourselves and find most of our inspiration through skateboarding. Therefore, we will always support skateboarding.

That is why we are collaborating with Skateistan and have been able to donate over 100 000 Euro to their work.That is why we run our own skate school all around Sweden to welcome and activate refugee kids into the Swedish society.

And that is why you are reading this text. Starting in 2018, we will every year turn someone or something within skateboarding PRO. Someone or something that we think makes skateboarding great.

Over the last years we have had the honor to turn Streetlab, Lovenskate, The Bunt, Girl Skate UK, Aram Sabbah, Katta Sterner and Dolores Magazine PRO. This year we’re heading to the beating heart of Europe, the Balkans.

Because this year Vladimir Film Festival is PRO!

The Vladimir Film Festival is a truly unique independent skateboarding video and culture festival established in 2011 in the small Croatian town of Fažana.

The festival offers skate video premieres of all sorts, showcasing fresh and often experimental work, independent DIY projects, photo exhibitions by global artists, plus additional events such as workshops, book talks, and exhibitions that fuse skate culture with creative expression.

When you buy a pair of these sunglasses, the scarf, or both you support Vladimir and a skateboard scene where everyone is welcome. No Vladimir, no party!
