On or off the board, these sporty kicks from Osiris will get him wherever he wants to go. Sporty in a cool camo print, the Merk sneaker is a classic skate-style shoe that offers solid canvas construction and a traction-friendly herringbone-patterned rubber outsole. Sturdy laces with sturdy metal grommets ensure longer wear and durability. Established in 1996, Osiris Shoes has grown into one of the biggest names in skate footwear. Osiris exploded onto the core skateboarding scene in 1999 and by 2001 Osiris had cemented itself as a recognized leader in the skate industry. All of the Osiris shoes are designed and tested by one of the best Pro Skate Teams ever assembled. Clint Peterson, John Rattray, Corey Duffel, Diego Bucchieri, and Caswell Berry are just a few of the skaters that help make Osiris one of the most recognized and respected skate brands around. Osiris prides itself on being a brand that is made for skaters by skaters. The design influence of their Elite team of Pro skaters makes Osiris one of the most rigorously tested skate brands and the result of this is a line of skate shoes that meets the highest standards of quality and function. Osiris also recently completed its evolution into a complete footwear company with the addition of the Osiris Girls' line.
