The Osiris D3 2001 shoes were the first skateboarding sneakers to implement a wide variety of special features focused on multiple aspects all at once.

Almost everyone who wore the Osiris D3 2001 shoes fell in love with them. They are about as comfortable as a pair of skateboarding sneakers could ever possibly be, and have a great snug fit that seems to just latch on to your feet. This could be attributed mainly to the patented True-Fit™ dual density padded no-slip heel cup, Flip-Touch System™ smooth inner side panel padded tri-coat mesh, internal toe box neoprene comfort padding, eight-point Breathe-Right Ventilation System™ double layered mesh panels, and the dual density anatomically contoured padded tongue with stretch mesh retainers.

Durability is also a very strong point in the Osiris D3 2001 shoes. In fact this is one of the big reasons these sneakers are so famous. With amazing special features like PVC tongue lace retainers with TPR, piping TPR reinforced with Endura™ coasted on the side panel, high impact resistant lightweight PU, combination PVC/TRP super loops, and the embossed sonic molded 3M™ reflective TPVR Side super loop panel on each and every pair of these sneakers, their reputation as being the most durable skateboarding sneakers on the market had plenty of evidence backing it.

There were also several different features that enhanced the overall performance of the Osiris D3 2001 shoes that were rarely ever seen before in a pair of skateboarding sneakers. These features allowed skateboarders of all types, from vert to street, to be able to perform their tricks much more smoothly and easily. They came fully loaded with pro design EVA anti-shock insoles, stabilizer midsoles for a smooth ride, helium tunnel compression anti-impact system, and their own patented Supergrip™ rubber compound with aggressive tread design to allow for maximum grip even with the weakest of grip tape.

It's not so much the features themselves that made the Osiris D3 2001 shoes so famous, it's the fact that they were able to successfully implement all of them into one stylish and great looking pair of skateboarding sneakers. To this day, they are still selling by the thousands, which is amazing for any kind of skateboarding footwear.
