I’d back a Fallen comeback. The Chief, Forte, and Coronado were amazing shoes. Straye is hot garbage.

Outside of Vans Hi's The Chief was my most skated shoe (reynolds 2 comes in at third place)

A couple of my homies have some Strayes and really like them. Definitely feel like a solid shoe for being a self proclaimed "price point" brand.


I'd back a modernized Fallen. I liked the few shoes I had from them, but they also mostly had the same aesthetic from start to finish as a brand and I feel like that aesthetic was a bit of a niche that didn't carry as long as they probably would have liked.

maybe the chief cashed out on the intellectual property and sold what was left of the brand to some random corporation to milk it.


examples:

Popwar
Blueprint
maple skateboards

Not really related to a comeback, but I thought it was funny they used Fallen's IG page for Straye. They just deleted all fallen's pics and kept their followers haha.

I'd back a new Fallen. I've bought Emerica's for the past year or so and kinda tired of the same looking shoe. Bring back the ads with the used shoes, keep the team small, have a heavy social media presence.

No reason to come back into skateboarding, so many shoe brands now, they'd become another dvs/circa that isn't take serious

If fallen brought back shoes like the ripper and trooper I’d buy like 3 pairs Forsure

I miss the way mid 2000 skate shoes were made, kinda puffy and padded but Vulcs too not just cupsoles equipped with padding

The rippers were the best vulc I’ve ever skated, they had good padding, really well board feel, and fallen was ahead of the game and knew about the glorious herring tread that was never a let down as seen on 90% of Nike’s and most adidas

They knew that was the best tread for skating cause it flexed the way your feet need for quick movement but simple

Never skated fallens, neither did it ever appeal to me as a brand.

But they do have a great logo
Title: Re: Fallen?
Post by: pedro_mayn on February 24, 2018, 04:55:09 PM
Fallen never really appealed to me and although I liked the logo as a 'nippa, they didn't really seem like something I'd like to rock when I got past 15/16.

One of my friends had the shoes where the fabric changed colour when they got worn in, I thought they were pretty cool.

Fallen used to make decent shoes but the last two pairs i had completely fell apart, I remember hearing they changed something about the way they were made and the glue that held them together was pure shit. soles fell off after like 2 sessions

What the fuck does this page do / mean?!?

Had the fallen rising sun in black and white low top and they are still one of my fav shoes to this day. Those and the black chiefs with white sole and the trooper.
Damm

I hope Jamie Thomas does the same thing Chad Muska did where he claimed to be riding for one shoe company while simultaneously having an ad on another one. Also those used shoes ads were pretty memorable growing up.
