Polar Skate Co

Polar Skate Co. was founded in 2011 by professional skateboarder and artist Pontus Alv in Malmo, Sweden. What started as a local skate crew became a globally recognised brand built on creativity, individuality, and the artistic side of skateboarding. Pontus designs many of the brand's distinctive deck graphics himself, drawing on a visual language that sets Polar apart from the more commercialised end of the industry. The label has grown into one of the most respected names in skateboarding worldwide. At Wally, we stock Polar Skate Co. decks, clothing, and accessories for skaters who value authenticity and creative expression. Shop Polar Skate Co. NZ in store at our Takapuna boutique or online with free delivery over $80.

Polar Skate Co was founded in 2011 in Malmo, Sweden by pro skater and artist Pontus Alv. It is regarded as an art-led, creatively distinct skate brand built on treating skateboarding as a craft to be respected.

What is the Big Boy, and why does everyone talk about it?
The Big Boy is Polar's baggy 90s-inspired denim silhouette, in the brand's own words 'our most recognized pant model that built the foundation for our denim range'. It historically carries an embroidered Big Boy character on the back pocket, and the 93 sits alongside it as the other core Polar pant shape.

What makes Polar Skate Co different?
Founder Pontus Alv designs much of the brand's artwork himself, with graphics drawn from its team riders. On the loose 90s silhouettes the brand revived with the Big Boy, Alv puts it this way: 'It really makes the style flow when you see the fabric moving.'
