Empyre review

Empyre is the denim label sold by Zumiez, and it targets skaters who want a low, roomy fit. Zumiez says Empyre's loose fits sit low on the waist with a lot of room through the leg in classic denim colors and washes. When we checked, its men's jeans page listed Empyre Loose Fit Skate Jeans in washes such as Ollie Blue, Shmutz Black and Scramble Grey, plus Baggy Barrel Jeans in Dark Blue and Raw Black, each at $69.94. That price also meets Zumiez's free shipping threshold of orders over $69.94, and Empyre jeans were part of a Buy 1 Get 1 50% off offer. The category page gives few measurements, so check the product page for rise and leg opening. Empyre is a narrower range than American Eagle, but it is the clearest low-slung skate option here.
