- In this video we''ll talk about when DC shoes was started and founded, what DC shoes stands for, what DC shoes has been worth over the years, who created and owns DC shoes, and more.
DC all started with an idea to create an apparel company, by two friends who met in community college: Damon Way and Ken Block. Starting 8 Ball clothing, they shifted to Droors Jeans, after issues over branding Trademarks.
Droors jeans became Droors clothing, which then transitioned to become DC shoes, as we know it today; a shoe company geared at providing technical skateboarding shoes. Fighting against brands like Champion and Converse (underneath Nike), DC fought for it's place in establishing a logo, eventually settling on the DC with the 7 point star.
Damon Way pulled in his brother, Danny, to ride for the brand, along with Colin Mckay, granting immediate respect. They then added industry icons like Stevie Williams, Josh Kalis, Greg Meyers, Lindsey Robertson, Caine Gayle, Rob Dyrdek, Rick Howard, Moses Itkonen, Keith Hufnagel, and others. Taking all of these infamous pros on the DC super tour, in 1997. They then went on to release the DC Video, showcasing the diversity and talent their team had to offer.
They soon added a snowboard division with great riders like Ikka Backstrom, Devun Walsh, and Torstien Horgmo.
DC has gone on to release multiple infamous shoes like the Lynx, Court, and Stevie williams pro model. They've also collaborated with brands such as Dime, Baker, and Supreme, and artists such as Kaws, or Andy Howell.
DC has navigated lawsuits with brands such as Dolce and Gabanna, DC comics, was bought out by Quiksilver, and has navigated bankruptcy. They've restructured several times, most notably in the rediscover DC campaign, where they added skaters like Mikey Taylor, Nyjah Huston, Wes Kremer, Evan Smith, T Funk, Will Marshall, Madars Apse, and more. DC has also had to part with beloved team members like Rob Dyrdek, Chris Cole, and Mikey Taylor when times got tough.
Over the years, they've let out iconic shoes such as the Lynx, the Court Graffik, the Kalis, the Legacy, the Stevie Williams Reason shoe, and more.
Let us know what your favourite era of DC is in the comments below!
Who is your favorite DC team rider of all time & why?! Or what's your favorite DC shoe you've ever owned?!
AVE then and Wes now!!
Dc Mike Mo Shoe/Dc Chris cole Lite 3/Dc Nyjah 2
Josh kalis and now john shanahan!
Kalis is my lord and saviour
AVE of course but the DC manteca is one of the best
DC needs to remake all those old team rider shoes in different color-ways.
I mean, they kinda are lol, with the lynx OGs amd Lynx Zeros and the new kalis and everything
We need the Danny way pro model. The one from the helicopter commercial 💚
Had to revisit this vid today after the passing of Ken Block. RIP. One of the heaviest skateboard teams ever.. and snowboarding too. Thanks for this.
Lindsey Robertson, Ryan Smith, Stevie Williams and Brian Wenning were the ones that got me hyped on DC in the early 2000's. Chyeauh!
Lindsey Robertson, Ryan Bobbier, AVE and Dill
Miss those Ryan Smith shoes and Stevie Williams too
I remember being so happy with my Lynx kicks, I couldn't seem to wear them down. The bottoms ended up wearing out before I ever ripped the toe, something I never experienced before. Chris Cole is one of my all time favorites. SO awesome learning DC made the first batch of Fallens.

Funny cause in Linkin Parks, In The End Remix Re-animation music video, Mike Shinoda is wearing A DC Beanie!
Favorite DC rider is Danny Way for sure. The guy was a better street skater with tech switch, insane handrails and stairs eclipsing legit street skaters and yet he is known as mostly a vert skater. Danny Way is the most naturally gifted skater of all time hands down!!!
Lol walking out of a after new year party to sit down and watch this video now. You guys rule. Thanks for the break from the noise lol
haha stoked you enjoyed!!
The DC Rudy Johnson 2 was without a doubt my all-time favorite
Love me some DC's
That Kramer pic had me dying🤣
DC infinite and infinite slip ons are the best dc shoes I've ever owned. Evan smith is my favorite.
Ohh my goodness yes!
I’ve always been a fan of DC since the late 90’s, just ask anyone who knows me. Ha Much love!!!
Thought they did this already
The whole love park debacle is honestly heart breaking to me.
Agreed!
all good things usually come to an end
Between 1996 and 2000 DC was the shit.
The Rick Howard 1 is my favorite DC Shoe. Have seen this Shoe a lot back in the day.
We’re huge Rick fans! 🇨🇦
Politicians always suck the fun out of everything.
My fav era is the dc video era and all time fav rider is josh kalis
Just bought a Kalis photography book from Blabac, lots of amazing Love park pics from back in the day!
Chris Cole will always be my favorite pro rider. Glad he is back with zero after all these years and if he could get back on with DC it would be like high school all over again!
Just ordered a pair of Lynx Zeros for me and my son... I had the original Lynx and was my favorite shoe
🔥🔥🔥
Been a fan of DC & Quiksilver products for the past 20 years.
DC Apex with gum sole was my first real skate shoe back in 97 in 7th grade.
Favorite era was the rediscover era. They should have made a full length vid with that team!!!!!!
True, that woulda been heavy!!
T Funk is my favorite skater, im getting his signature dc high tops on thursday
New part dropping tomorrow
Manteca are so so good for skating.
I really Love DC Graffiks they look so good
Ha! Damon was my best friend in high school. Rad.
No way! That’s rad! 🙌🙏
My favorites were the Boxer. Wanted the Stevie Williams but didn't have my size. Later had an airmax 360 style pair. Lost interest when I could only find Manteca and Mike shinoda styles. Noticed a difference and it makes sense they were owned by quicksilver. Knew a guy that later worked at their outlet store and would get $3 pairs and gear. He said they "went all corporate!".
I had no idea DC launched Fallen. Always saw DC more aligned with like a hip hop image and Fallen more gothy rock n roll vibes. Both great shoe companies.
I learnt inward heels in a pair or orange 8ball jeans... back in the dats of Bob shirts
Wenning wearing the Lynx💯
🤤🤤🤤
Droors Clothing. DC. Mind Fucking Blown. Like you said, I always thought it was Danny & Colin. I remember in 95 having this nasty Droors toque I wore skating everyday...then one day the company was gone. I had no idea it was the same ownership as DC. Its funny cause I remember thinking Droors was the shit, I loved all those small companies and I wouldn't be caught dead wearing DC....unless it was a pair of Stevie Williams
I actually have some of Nyjah Huston pro model DC Shoes in my collection that I got him to sign and when I got him to sign them he said “you got the OG pro model shoes” 😂
🔥🔥🔥
That’s One hell of a collectors item
I`d love an episode on Vision Street Wear shoes...the only shoes that I couldn`t destroy in under a month sold in the 90`s!
Is that Vision the Skateboard company? doing shoes? My dad had a Vision deck back in the 80's
@@bFOURdwZEROlf they did indeed make skate shoes...check them out online...
I went to there "football shirt" demo in Utrecht. Good vibes
My best skateboarding shoes where some used DC’s that my friend gave me I was at my peak of skateboarding they where so good I skated from 1995-2008
In Sandiego in Shelltown National city ,Logan ,clairmont Downtown SD
I had the courts in black with pink and white with blue lol definitely some clean ass styles
The Lynx might be the best cup sole of all time. I just got the John Shanahan Cargo Lynx and the hoodie and t shirt from the capsule.
Those ones look so dope!!
Stevie, kalis and wenning, their was a time in early 2000s when everyone skating city hall/cecil (love was on lockdown) when everyone had white tees, hunchback steez and lynx just like wenning, myself included
Love watching your videos, from the uk guys keep up the good work

14 things about Alien Workshop!!!
i bought 2 pairs of williams slim in 2020..so beautiful
So good! 🏆
Williams and kalis slim💥💥💥💥
with champion and converse both telling them to change their logo, i'm surprised chanel didn't try to take a shot at them too
They probably didn’t give a shit. It wasn’t worth their time.
This is funny cause I just received my dc Kalynx zero shoes today and then this popped up
My favorite skater was Rob Dyrdek,on DC⭐
I’m 13 I wish I lived during the 90s era of dc Just because of love park and my favourite dc skater has to be the one and only Josh kalis
Last pair of airwalks i had had ollie flaps...88?
When Ryan Smith was on DC that’s when I bought their skate shoes the most
His half cab looking ones?
@@ShredzShop yeeee
I still rock DC's
Edmund Bacon, fucking legend.
Agreed!!!
We need the command back!!
Shit, you just made me buy a pair of Lynx.
WOW! Are old school Dc shoes fully collectible then?
Do a video on ac dc dcs there awsome
Comment down below your favourite DC shoes! I like the Legacy, Penza and Steve and Links. OG style
I was really digging those new Williams slims and the OG Lynx!
Command
I one time thought it was Dyrdek Company 😊
The all green DC shoe
I respect DC but it's one of the brands I never wore because I didn't like the associated aesthetic. Kinda like Hurley.
RIP HHIC 43VER
❤️🙏
I'm confused, you rereleased the video, but you didn't correct the information about the logo lawsuit. It had nothing to do with Dolce & Gabbana, the logo Lawsuit is with Chanel. DC Can't put their star logo on anything Chanel made first, and yes, they actually made snowboards before DC.
DC is well known about its bulky shoes . In China we call it a bread 🥯 like skate shoes. But they was beginning to make shoes in South Korea and then transferred to Vietnam. But DC officially landed in mainland China market thus we can buy a pair of DC shoes that is assured authentic not counterfeit DC product.
Please do aesthetics skateboards/23 skateboards!!!???
Aesthetics is on our list!! Just gotta line up some interviews for it!
Dc clocker 2 were dope
This channel is fun
🙏🙏🙏
Fave rider?
I remember when I started skating and saw DC, thinking Stevie and Kalis had the best style and shoes. Then when I started trying different shoes, the Manteca just worked for me.
I picked up a pair recently and it’s a Manteca silhouette with a vulc sole. Super digging it for skating and it looks great.
I just bought a Mike Blabac photography boot that is loaded with iconic Love Park photos from the 90's and early 2000's sooo good!! He sells some on this website and instagram if you keep an eye out!
5:01 those are not the court graffik. Those are the kaws shoe collab.
Edmund Bacon is Kevin Bacons pops...
Thank you
I still have 2 pairs of Droors jeans!!!!!!!!
Prob worth some serious cash on Ebay.
hook-ups/jk industries
Born in 95. I never really got into dc
but I saw it everywhere on Skate 3
so I was like what's this brand?
I've seen the show Ridiculousness.. and I watch Hoonigan's Ken Block Gymkahana and a shitload of Daily Transmissions Later and was like holy crap Ken Block did DC? and then I just forgot about it and didn't really care. I saw Rob Dyrdek from Skate 3, too, and I noticed he was a stunt man on a Gymkahana video. I was like woah, Really????? That's cool! years later when I discovered Ken Block.
Then on a random evening I saw with my dad Ridiculousness and I was like "holy shit this dude's from this one video I like by Ken Block and Skate 3 and...Yadayadayada
Didn't pay much attention to it, Just loved the videos
Basically AFV but modern day, Amazingness.
Fast Forward more years
There was a documentary this year that came out that I saw with my dad about Rob Dyrdek's career and I was like.. WHAT THE FUCK... he worked with Danny Way, DC Shoes, and Ken Block was a Founder? wait a second? I literally researched everything I could about them
and today I just got my first DC shoes in the mail.
Got a Hoonigan hat on my desk for when I want to go outside
Dangit, man, Shit I believe in
Full circle
So I've realized
I never wanted DC shoes until this year
and I want it from the inspiration of some of the greatest people of all time. Drifters, Rally Drivers, Skateboarders, Entrepreneurs, Creators, Designers, and
If it wasn't for DC
Yeezys would not be a thing
Colabs would not be a thing (this shit's everywhere.. holy fff)
Like literally Skate 3 wouldn't have been a thing
I wouldn't have ever stacked clips on Instagram on Skater XL
I wouldn't even have continued making music
if It weren't for DC
indirectly
So I guess I can keep on going on and... I bought some shoes and slides for Rob and Ken
but I realize
today we need to bring DC BACK!!!!!!!!
I hope all goes up from here, man!
What about Axion shoes wasn't that a good brand also that died out a long time ago ?
They came back recently,
