Last Resort AB
Last Resort AB was founded in 2020 by Pontus Alv and Sami Tolppi, bringing together Alv's extensive skateboarding industry experience from founding Polar Skate Co. with Tolppi's design expertise and skating background. The brand represents a natural evolution of Alv's vision for creating authentic skateboarding products that respect the sport's heritage.
Their approach focuses on classic skateboarding silhouettes reimagined with contemporary construction techniques and carefully selected materials for durability and board feel. The design philosophy draws heavily from vintage skate footwear, applying the same attention to detail and cultural understanding that made Polar Skate Co. influential within European skateboarding. With Tolppi serving as creative director, Last Resort AB delivers shoes that feel genuinely connected to skateboarding's roots while meeting modern performance standards. It's the kind of thoughtful product development you'd expect from someone who's spent years understanding what skaters actually want.
