The story
Founded by Jamie Thomas in 2003.1
In 2003, it was announced that Fallen Footwear would be manufactured and distributed by DC Shoes under licence from Thomas.
The agreement was cancelled in 2005 after Quiksilver acquired DC. 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." The shoes were sold and distributed through Thomas' Black Box Distribution.
On April 11, 2016, Jamie Thomas announced on Facebook, Instagram and its homepage that Fallen was disbanding operations.
January 1, 2018, was officially dated as the moment of Fallen's worldwide trademark acquisition by Town Connection, which is planning a global re-launch sometime this year.
In February 2019, they relaunched with some of their original skaters, including Chris Cole, Tommy Sandoval, and Billy Marks. They have brought new models and old classics to their new line.
