DC Life Xander TX Fluorescent Lime

25 09 2009

With a predominantly Fluorescent Lime upper, the model features hits of Silver and Orange on the tongue and side panel. The bold color scheme certainly invokes the comparison to Nike’s ‘Tennis Ball’ Hyperdunk, but the DC release twists the classic skate shoe silhouette into the mix. No word on an official released date, but keep your eyes peeled for more information as we get closer to 2010.xander





DC x Royalefam “Circus Of Mutants” Pack

20 09 2009

DC Shoes x Loaded New Zealand x RoyaleFam   SBTG Circus Of Mutants Collection

> DC Shoes

Previewed in Vegas, we now have the official info on the first collaboration between DC and renowned Singaporean design collective RoyaleFam. The co-op boasts three shoes, a pair of board shorts, two t-shirts and two hats all designed by SBTG. The design inspiration comes from the legendary skateboard crew called the “Circus of Mutants” who were famous in Singapore in the 80’s and 90’s. While SBTG himself was not a member of this crew he was chosen to tell the story of the “Circus”. This crew included “The Fly” (along with other local legends “The Bat”, “Scorpion”, and “Frankenstein”) and as such the first installment of the “Circus of Mutants” is based on Singaporean legend Lucas Ng – “The Fly”. The collection will officially hit select skateboarding stores worldwide in January 2010.

A detailed look at the full DC x Royalefam “Circus Of Mutants” Pack follow after the jump.

Lemar & Dauley x DC Shoes Spring 2009 Xander

17 04 2009

lemar-dauley-dc-xander-1 Lemar & Dauley x DC Shoes Spring 2009 Xander

The third in a series of collabs between DC and New York’s Lemar and Dauley: The Lemar and Dauley Xander.

The muse for the Summer 2009 Lemar and Dauley Xander was racquet sports—inspiration was pulled from tennis and the equipments used. The tennis racquet became a source of inspiration, along with both the clay and grass courts that are used as the playing field. Special attention to detail led to the utilization of a mesh material on the side panels and tongue of the Xander as a reflection of the interlocking strings used within the racquet. The houndstooth detail served as an iconic brand logo, much like the branded logos printed on tennis racquet strings, while the clear sole of the shoe reflected the nylon material used to make the cords. In the final details, leather trim was used around the edges as well as under the sole of the shoe to represent the leather taping around the handle of the racquet. The insoles were printed with an abstracted graphic of the playing field itself to provide a complete story.

Both colorways drop May 1st at select DC LIFE retailers worldwide.

Check out the other colorway after the jump.

dc-kendo-spruce-00

DC and influential women’s sneaker retailer, Kendo, have paired to introduce the first women’s sneaker in DC’s Double Label™ Retailer Project– The Spruce Kendo.

A woman’s ever evolving sense of style was Kendo’s inspiration for the unique colorway. The shoe features different reptile skins that have been applied with a lenticular technique to create the impression of an ever changing look. They then paired the animal print with opulent gold, tan and copper colors, and added red for an edgy color pop with the Kendo logo featured on the heel as well as printed on the insole.
