Founded by \u003cb\u003eDanny Way\u003c\/b\u003e’s older brother Damon and rally driver \u003cb\u003eKen Block\u003c\/b\u003e in 1994 as \u003cb\u003eDroors Clothing\u003c\/b\u003e, the company was one of the first to embrace advanced construction technologies in creating skate shoes. While others were figuring out how to make rubber compounds that would last longer, DC was already making cushioned hi-tech soles. Equally important to the company’s success, however, was DC’s pro team. DC’s rise to fame is inseparable from the careers of \u003cb\u003eJosh Kalis, Stevie Williams, and Brian Wenning\u003c\/b\u003e, to name a few, and it’s safe to say that they helped shape the brand’s public image considerably. Consequently, Kalis, Williams, and Wenning’s fabled home turf, the now-demolished Love Park in downtown Philadelphia, became closely linked to DC Shoes — another reason why the brand is considered a leading skate shoe company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"padding: 1rem; background: rgb(0 0 0 \/ 70%); color: #fff; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eMore about DC Shoes\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeyond Love Park: DC Shoes today\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC was never gone, so technically, DC doesn’t have to come back. However, after years of trying to make the perfect mall rat shoe, DC has returned to its fabled models of yesteryear and gave\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘em a proper relaunch. Re-releasing the \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC Lynx\u003c\/b\u003e as a part of the \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC Shoes Heritage\u003c\/b\u003e line-up, as well as creating updated classics such as the\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e DC Kalis Vulc\u003c\/b\u003e, demonstrates the company’s awareness of its storied legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC Shoes Online Shop at Bonkers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack in the days, \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC Shoes\u003c\/b\u003e transformed a whole industry with its novel take on skate shoes. Most skateboard historians argue that the company single-handedly established the bulky skate shoe trend that dominated the late ‘90s and early 2000s. This is why most skateboarders not only associate \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC Shoes \u003c\/b\u003ewith skateboarding’s rise in popularity at the time but also see DC models as defining the aesthetic of an entire era. A pair of \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC Shoes\u003c\/b\u003e is not just a skate shoe, but a representation of a specific era in skateboarding. The same goes for the iconic DC logo which is featured prominently on \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDC Shoes hoodies, t-shirts, and crewnecks\u003c\/b\u003e.
