Since its inception in 1996, Osiris Shoes has pioneered innovative skate footwear and continues to push the edge 23 years later. Over the last 23 years, Osiris has created and released a wide range of technical skate shoes, including the renowned D3 & D3 2001, as well as the O.D.S., DEFCON, and GRAFF, to mention a few. Osiris was founded by Eric Hester and Mark Gonzales who were both extremely talented skaters themselves. They saw a need for new technology in the industry and decided to fill it by creating their own brand of shoes. From the beginning, they wanted to create quality products that would allow their users to progress quickly on the board while keeping up with the latest trends. They started out by producing one shoe at a time and worked with some of the top brands in the industry including Element, Enjoi, Airwalk, and Death By Design just to name a few. Through many successful collaborations, they have learned what works best for different brands and which materials should be used in order to get an optimal product. Today, Osiris is still made in America but now it's done out of Portland, Oregon with a team of more than 20 people working tirelessly to bring you the highest quality skate shoes on the market. Osiris Shoes was started in 1996 by two friends who were tired of seeing so many popular companies release poor quality products that fell apart after only a few uses.
