Osiris
Osiris is a California-based footwear brand rooted in skateboarding subculture. Its core aesthetic features oversized silhouettes, technical padding, and durable materials. The brand represents a fusion of extreme sports functionality and underground street style, emphasizing a rebellious ethos and technical performance for professional skaters.
Fashion History
Founded in 1996 by Tony Chen, Brian Reid, Doug Weston, and Laura Kim, Osiris emerged during the technical skate shoe boom. The brand gained significant cultural recognition with the release of the D3 model in 1999, which became a symbol of early 2000s skate fashion. Its exaggerated proportions influenced both the skateboarding industry and broader streetwear trends, marking a shift toward maximalist footwear design before the industry returned to slimmer profiles.
