Fallen Footwear is a skateboarding footwear brand started by a professional skateboarder Jamie Thomas.

History

In 2003, it was announced that Fallen Footwear would be manufactured and distributed by DC Shoes under license from Thomas.[1] The agreement was canceled in 2005 after DC was acquired by Quiksilver. It was an amicable separation, and DC President Ken Block said that Fallen was "recognized as the top new emerging footwear brand in the skateboard industry."[2] The shoes are sold and distributed through Thomas' Black Box Distribution.[3]
