Osiris D3 2001 Shoes
Like most great stories in skateboarding, the story of the Osiris D3 starts in the early 90’s with a midwestern skateboarder named Dave Mayhew. Mayhew, like many skateboarders of the time, was just getting used to the idea of skating as a career. Street skateboarding, companies, and videos were all progressing, and with them, so was how skate shoes were designed. Shoe companies like Osiris, eS, and DC were exploring how to improve a skate shoe’s durability, comfort, and style by adding more plastic, more foam, and more stitching. It’s hard to believe people were able to skate some of the shoes that were designed in the late 90’s early 2000’s. The D3s are the epitome of excess skate shoe design saw at the time - they’re nearly indestructible “tanks”, which is great for durability, but not so great for boardfeel. Within the first year of the D3’s release, the shoes were selling out across the country. The D3s were a must have for teenagers and became extremely popular in rave culture. The D3 2001 are a re-release of the original D3 design. Whether it’s for nostalgic reasons or that these fun-loving, puffy tanks are working their charm on a whole new generation, or both, we’ll do our best to keep the Osiris D3 shoes in stock.
