Frog Skateboards — Founded in 2015 by skaters Chris “Mango” Milic and Jesse Alba, Frog is a creative skate brand born out of friendship, humor, and a love for doodling. Based in New York, Frog’s ethos is built around playful self-expression, deliberately naive graphics, and a joyful skateboarding culture rather than competition.

What Makes Frog Unique

• Hand-Drawn Aesthetic: Their decks, apparel, and accessories feature hand-drawn, cartoonish graphics — frogs, abstract characters, smiles, and childlike scribbles.

• Fun-First Philosophy: Frog was created as a counterpoint to stiff, hyper-competitive skate culture — their brand deliberately leans into humor, creativity, and low-pressure skating.

• Community & Inclusivity: The team is about more than just pro skaters — Frog supports a community of creatives, artists, and skaters who value individuality and fun. 

• Collaborations: They’ve partnered with big names like Vans, bringing their quirky art to classic skate shoes and apparel lines.

• Full Lifestyle Brand: Beyond decks, they offer t-shirts, hoodies, griptape, hats, and accessories — all with Frog’s signature playful designs.

Why We Love Frog:

Skaters and streetwear fans gravitate to Frog because it feels real and not overly polished, not trying to be ultra-cool, just fun. Their products let you carry a piece of creativity in your backpack, and their boards skate as well as they look.
