Fallen Skate ShoesFeatured Products
FallenIn late 2003, professional skateboarder Jamie Thomas, who had previously ridden for the footwear companies Emerica, Adio, and C1RCA, proposed starting his own brand to the owners of DC Shoes, Ken Block and Danny Way. They agreed to back the brand financially, with Thomas in creative control and heading the venture. Later that year, DC was acquired by Quiksilver. Quiksilver was interested in acquiring Fallen as well, but Thomas opted to retain the brand to keep it independent and the company was moved to Black Box Distribution.
Jamie initially wanted his company to be called Armee, not Fallen footwear, but ran into some trouble with the U.S. Army and had to come up with something else. Jamie Thomas stated "I wanted the company and the riders to inspire kids and be like a movement of unlikely people coming up. Fallen just seemed to be the perfect name for that mission. It seemed kind of negative at first, so we made sure 'Rise with the Fallen' was on everything we made." Popular skate shoes in the Fallen line include the Ripper, the Fallen Slash and Forte. All Fallen Shoes are designed with one thing in mind; skateboarding. Superb board feel and wear resistance come as standard.
