fallen footwear Jamie instagram message

Fallen Footwear – “It is with a thankful & humble heart that I announce that Spring 2016 will be Fallen Footwear’s last season.
I would like to thank the past and present Fallen team, employees, distributors, and retailers. I’d also like to thank everyone that has ever bought a pair of our shoes or supported Fallen in any way over the past 13 years.
The Fallen mission and goal has always been to work with skateshops and support skateboarding with everything we do. Unfortunately, this has become increasingly more difficult for skate shoe brands.
Rather than waver from this mission, we are choosing to bow out.
I encourage everyone to support authentic skate footwear brands as we wish them all the absolute best.”
– Skate or Die,
Jamie Thomas

This is the message Jamie left on the Fallen Instagram account this morning after personally calling his main accounts. Seems like skater owned/skater run brands are having a hard time these days. Who you gonna blame… the swoosh, the stripes, or skateboarders?
