HOOD- the community we grew up in that influenced our unique culture and social functions. PORT- a crucial place of connection where our roots meet the opportunities of our future. Together HOODPORT represents the collaboration between where we come from and where our future can take us.

I'm Johnny Giba, the Founder and Creator of Hoodport. I was born and raised in Aurora, a suburb of Chicago. My hometown was fundamental in making me who I am today. The friends I made, the lessons I learned, all brought me to where I am now. My journey has allowed me to connect with people of all backgrounds. Each relationship being an opportunity for us to learn from each other and support each other's passions. Everyone has their own journey; we want to know and be a part of yours. I aspire for my brand to allow others to expand their network in the same way and to help connect people through clothing. My goal is to not only create a brand that people love but create a community of people that are accepting of each others' upbringing and collaborative in each others' futures. Tap into the movement, rep your HOODPORT.
