THE DC APPRECIATION THREAD Vol.1.0.0

[brettthejett]

There isn't a single forum online (to my knowledge) for people who like to collect DC sneakers. Which is understandable, but they are absolutely worthy
Hopefully I'm not the only person who does this.

Anyways, I have put together (to the best of my research) a list of any DC shoe of collaborative value, double label, artist series, special and/or limitededition that is in actual production (no samples).

My favorite (and to my knowledge one of the rarest DC shoes)

 

[troublebound666]

DC is killing it right now. They're easily my favorite company right now in all aspects.

I've got a ton of 'em, but my favorites right now are the PK Ripper Gatsbys and the blue/yellow Pro Spec 1.0s. The Pro Specs are my absolute favoritesthough as I'm a massive rally fanatic...

 

[fresh iz back]

I only liked 1 pair of DC shoes, they came out in MIAMI Dolphins colorway, any pics of the sneaker and name would be apprecaited

 

[mheftman]

too bulky for my taste.

 

[rfx45]

I used to have a couple of pairs but my favorite was the Famous Stars & Straps they had a year or two ago.

 

[dgk3188]

mantecas FTW!!

Didn't you answer that question with your original post?

Another reason could be:

Lets see those linkin park joints.

 

[page86]

DC was killin it back in the day

the first Kalis shoe is classic, along with the first Stevie Williamis joints, everyone was hating on him for copying the jordan 12, but those joints werefresh!
plus they were dope to skate in!!!! which is most important, DC has taken a huge crap as a company as of late, it's more so construction worker dudes whoyou see
rocking the DCs lately, and it's lame!!!

i used to like DC when they were still fairly new...favorite pair i had were the first Dyrdek's

i had the blue pair and always wanted the green as well

i had the first Rick Howard's in black/red which were dope too

 

[airjordanjack]

ding ding ding we have a winner

 

[ogfiend]

Oh man. In 2000/2001 when I used to skate, DC manteca's were my favorite shoe, I kept buying them up to 2003. The white/gum sole ones were sick.

I think DC has really gone down hill lately...just like nike, they're forgetting about the solid simplicity which made their shoes nice and opting forfunky colorways and cheap materials.

No hate, but your avatar is am95. Which is bulkier than a good deal of DCs... Don't get me wrong, I love am95s too, but they are "bulkier"than alot of DCs

i.e

DC Striker Spotted Pig

Ryan Smith 1.5 sig shoe

PK Ripper Gatsby

Thats to name a few...

Here are the Linkin Park sneaks.....not the coolest looking shoe, but it's more sentimental value to me than anything. Also, (until I stand corrected,they are limited to double digit production numbers..)

P.S HYE are you the creator of howsyouredge.com??? If so, thanks for the 101 on stuffing tongues!

waxed laces with contrast metal lacetips: neon and purplish
suede mix with that brown embossed "plastic"
padded stupidly tongue

[brettthejett]

I got my hands on the Meths, but not the new set, or the in4mation/brooklyn project

And Limited to 15 pairs world-wide

 

[brettthejett]
