Osiris is a skateboard clothing brand founded in California during the mid-90s by Swedish skater Tony Magnusson and others.
Before October 2014 the company sponsored skateboarders, BMX riders and surfers.
The Osiris skateboard video "The Storm" (1999) may have won a Transworld magazine reader's poll for best video.
Brian Reid designed the D3 and D3 2001 shoes with Tony Magnusson. The design was inspired by a shopping trip with Dave Mayhew (who later endorsed the shoe) during which athletic shoes and a hiking boot were purchased.[1]
The second version of the shoe, the D3 2001, became very popular. Osiris then released a lighter and less bulkier version called the D3 NTX. The D3 4.0 and a D3 Snowboarding boot followed, both influenced by the original design.
