In 2004, pro snowboarder Simon Chamberlain and his brother Mat sketched a name and a logo on a napkin at a local fast-food restaurant in Ontario, Canada. Three years later, Nomis (Simon spelled backwards) has worldwide distribution, and have just released their debut movie Child Support in association with Stepchild Snowboards. A lot of things have changed at Nomis since their humble beginnings, but some things stay the same: their team still influences all their design, they are constantly pushing the norms, and they are all still family.
The 2007 Fall Collection marks Nomis’ strongest season to date, with special items such as the first ever heated hoodie (with 8 hours of battery charged warmth!), a mystery hoodie program and a limited edition Nomis x Dragon Co-Op Mace goggle laced out in Simon’s Signature plaid print.
