Not sure if this particular source is reliable. Maybe if somebody made a random instagram comment I'd believe it.

Saw this coming after I bought Jon Dickson's new shoe and it tore two days later from walking.

If they wouldn't have fucked with the original Chief design then my purchases of that shoe alone would have kept them in business.

Sad to see them go. Big box shoe companies are hard to compete with.

Yes, it absolutely is. Fuck I buy a new vehicle every week because of that.

Im just fuckin with ya.

The economy sucks and big brands are killing all the skate based brands. So bowing out sucks, but it is what it is. Shitty spot to be in for sure.

In 10 years all we will have left is nike, adidas, cons and vans

Sad to see Fallen go. I had many pairs of the chief.

Also funny to see people talking shit about JT having ups and downs in business.

A bummer, may not have been the "coolest" shoe company in terms of what's in right now, but they were skater owned and supported a lot of great skateboarders. Sad to see it go.

R.I.P.

Had tons pairs of Fallen's, never thought I would even wear them, but when I did skate them, all were great.

Got a couple in my closet for collection, I'll never forget.

They definitely had a brand, but they niched themselves out of business I think. That whole Misled Youth / Dying To Live thing is gone. There aren't really skaters like that anymore who can identify with what Jamie Thomas loves to make skateboarding look like, or dreams it was still like. I understand the business is harsh for skate shoe brands but to me this seems more of a failure to adapt. Just because you have a concept doesn't mean you can't move around without completely abandoning what you stand for. I could see Jamie being a very stubborn businessman and marketer when it comes to his brands which probably hints to why they are all failing now.
