Skateboard company (Black Box Distribution)

Black Box Distribution is a skateboard distributor owned by professional skateboarder Jamie Thomas. It serves four companies, three of which are owned by Thomas: Fallen Footwear, Mystery Skateboards and Zero Skateboards.

History
       Slave Skateboards (styled as $lave Skateboards), owned by Black Box artist Ben Horton, was launched under the distribution company in 2007. The brand's debut full-length video Radio-Television premiered in September 2009.

Black Box announced a partnership with surf and skate clothing label, Insight, in mid-2009, but in 2014, the brand is no longer featured on the Black Box website. At the time of the announcement, Thomas explained: "My personal opinion is that Insight is a rad brand, and I think that’s what matters most ... it’s the raw elements and passion behind what it is more so than what category it supports most, whether it be surf, skate, or fashion. It’s so original and raw that I find it inspiring."

Black Box also owns Cinco Maderas, a Mexico based woodshop that manufactures the skateboard decks for Mystery, Slave and Zero.

Fallen Footwear
       Fallen Footwear is a skate shoe company. Originally it was a partnership between Thomas and DC Shoes. When DC was purchased by Quiksilver, Thomas choose not to sell Fallen and moved the brand to Black Box.
