DC Shoes is on of the most recognizable names in action footwear today, both in the US and
around the world. They are known as one of the premier forces in skate shoe technology today.
The designers
at
DCSHOECO
USA are dedicated to skate shoe excellence and they
work closely with their dc skate team riders to develop new technology and
innovative ideas that will continue to
push the boundaries of skateboarding footwear now and in the future.
The
dc shoes collection
offers a diverse product mix of skate footwear and apparel
respected by serious board riders as well as everyday mainstream consumers.
Delivering uncompromising comfort, durability, and eye-catching fashion,
DC is
the source for everyday and technical skateboard shoes.
Popular styles and standard favorites include the titan, manteca, avenue and alias.
The court, avatar, ten and motive are also very popular. The
court
is probably one their very most popular, it has a basic, no frills, yet attractive look. The
avenue
is Anthony Van Engelen’s new signature model and is one of the hottest skate shoes around.
It's toe cap is designed to help protect against griptape damage and it has a
DGT™ on the outsole for more durability and better board control.
The midsole is made from Perfomalite™ polyurethane, and
works with a heel airbag to provides exceptionally light cushioning.
The
manteca,
an old favorite from DC Shoes Company, is a rugged, basic skateboarding shoe that
delivers uncompromising performance and value.
The
avatar,
a midtop skateboarding shoe inspired by the Manteca, is also very well liked. The
avatar combines laces with an adjustable velcro ankle strap at the top, flex capabilities,
breathable mesh panels for ventilation and sticky gum rubber bottom to
make one versatile skate shoe. The
Titan is a DC classic.
It's got that distinctive look, durable design and was created for
high altitude athletes who need maximum protection and
performance.
Both the toe and heel are capped to protect as well as support,
impact shock is absorbed by an airbag in the heel, and rubber sidwalls provide the grip
that serious skateboarding requires. A special reversed pill pattern on the outsole
prevents stones and dirt from lodging in the tread, yet provides excellent traction on nearly any surface.
The only problem with the Titan is that it's hard to find for men on the internet right now.
We suggest checking back from time to time with the stores listed above
eBay
is a sometimes forgotten good source for hard to find items too
If your looking for a running shoe look, then the DCShoes Co
alias
is probably the shoe for you. But don't let that fool you, it is a serious skateboarding shoe
designed with a durable toe cap to help protect against ollie damage and other
harsh skateboard wear and tear. The tongue and heel are designed for padding, comfort and
breathability. The sole has DC ’s trademarked pill pattern, and is made of a highly
abrasion-resistant sticky rubber for traction and durability. The
ten,
rob dyrdek’s signature shoe is a long time favorite offering a
highly abrasion-resistant PAL AB 2003 toe cap for ollie protection,
innovative, patent-pending DGT™ rubber bottom design for enhanced board control and durability,
and lightweight performalite™ midsole with heel airbag provides shock absorption. A must have
in any serious skate boarder's shoe collection. The
motive
has an injected thermoplastic rubber protected ollie area,
performalite™ midsole and shock absorbing heel airbag.
Serious skaters also like the dc
fury, the signature skate shoe model from Danny Way and Colin McKay.
Some more good looking dc shoes you might like would be the

blend, and
criteria,
all of which make a handsome addition to any closet. DC also makes the
cabana, a comfortable
dc shoes skate sandal flip flop thong with high traction
rubber bottom for excellent wear and flex.
DC Shoes is a young aggressive company with sales that exceeded over $100 million in
2003 and they were recently acquired
by famous surf wear manufacturer Quicksilver, Inc.
Quiksilver's products are sold throughout the world, primarily in surf shops and
specialty stores and is popular with the youth market.
Most feel it will be a good blend, both companies strive toward authenticity,
technical excellence and great style.
