Savier was a Portland, Oregon based skateboard footwear company that operated from 2000 to 2004. Founded as an independent brand in 2000, it was acquired by Nike in 2001 after the company's first attempt to enter skateboarding had limited success. The team included Brian Anderson, Brad Staba, Stefan Janoski, Tim O'Connor, and John Rattray. Led by Paul Fidrych with Jeff Jewett and Rob LaVigne, Savier became known for its seamless Interfuse construction and minimalist designs. Although the company closed in 2004, its technology and design approach influenced later skate footwear, including the development of Nike SB. Show less
