Fallen Footwear dropped a special tribute shoe in honor of the late James Hardy—one of skateboarding’s most genuine and powerful individuals—and to celebrate the shoe, some of the Fallen team hit the open road the same way Hardy would've done it: camping and skating with his friends.
Peep the edit below, along with a closer look at this heartwarming shoe reissue.
"James Hardy was more than a skateboarder," Fallen mentioned on Instagram. "He was a cornerstone of our community and a beloved member of the Fallen family. His passion, skill, and dedication left an indelible mark on the world of skateboarding in his short 35 years." Get a closer look at the shoes below:
Whether you knew James personally or were simply inspired by his skating, there's no denying he is sorely missed. He was a truly one of a kind and the genuine love he had for his friends and family was something to admire.
On the board? Well, you don't need me to tell you he was an absolute powerhouse.
This reissue is way more than just a random shoe drop—it's truly a tribute to the inspiring, heartfelt human James was. It's about carrying that energy forward and going full throttle—in all aspects of your life—just like James did.
The Rambler reissue is available on the Fallen website now, as well as skateshops across the globe. Proceeds from this shoe will be given directly to the Hardy family as well, which is just the icing on the cake.
If you were a fan of James and his skating, these are a must-cop. Shoutout to the entire squad at Fallen for doing this. Love to see it.
