The DC Shoes brand can trace its roots back to 1989 when college friends Damon Way and Ken Block started printing t-shirts and selling them to stores with the help of Danny Way, a pro skater and Damon’s brother. After several years, the company evolved and the two realized there was a gap in the market for skateboarding shoes. The company began to produce technologically advanced shoes specifically for skaters in the 1990s. Over the past few decades, DC Shoes products have become staples for people both on the board and in everyday life.
The DC Shoes brand has become more than just a shoe manufacturer–it represents a large subculture and has become a lifestyle staple. The company produces a wide range of sneakers so wearers can express their personal style whether they plan to skate in them or not. The DC Lynx OG in Darkroom black, for example, is a skate shoe with a flat sole and chunky build. The company has also collaborated with other prominent cultural figures to make unique models of their shoes. For example, the DC Pure in AC/DC T.N.T. is a shoe with a design that honors the popular song by the legendary rock band.
The DC Shoes brand is known for its high quality skate shoes, but you also need high quality apparel to pair with your shoes. Check out Vans apparel to find a pair of pants or a t-shirt or hoodie to pair with your DC Shoes.
