DC shoes Josh Kalis white / grey leather

It doesn’t feel like a decade ago that Josh Kalis had his first pro shoe on DC shoes, but i i just realised that it pretty much is! time flies that’s for sure and DC as a once humble skate shoe brand have come along way. Producing quality skate shoes just wasn’t enough and so with the help of a mega ramp, a large wall, excellent snowboard and surf teams and the MTN LAB, they are now a house hold name.

Kalis is one of my all time favourite skateboards and still in my opion holds the title for most stylish tre flip, and that is one hell of a claim. Kalis has been with DC shoes a long time and this his 7th shoe on the brand is well deserved. The DC Kalis is featured here in white grey leather this shoe comes in around £60.00 and has all the tech features you’d expect from a DC shoe:

• Super suede, a superior version of suede that is more durable whilest maintaining grip and feel.
• Heavy duty suede upper
• soft full grain leather and full grain nubuck upper
• eyelets on medial side
• TPU eyelets
• foam padded tongue
• performance TPR wrap cupsole
• innovative DGT outsole for enhanced board control and durability

DC shoe co have been heavily involved in snowboarding for years now, so it was inevitable that with the success of DC shoes’ Snow boot and outer wear lines and not to meantion the infamous DC Mountain Lab DVD’s, that DC would eventually launch DC snowboards. This winter saw the release of their first season to limited stockists world wide, compramising of 4 different models the HKD, MLF, XFB, and PJB with Devun Walsh and Ikka Backstrom pro models. The DC snowboard line is tight but comrehensive in the sense it offers something what ever your prefence, whether it be pipe, piste, park or mountain.

DC Snowboards are available from route one now!

DC shoes and Plan B pro Danny Way has, over his long career as a professional skateboarder, blessed us with some of the most mind bending progression skateboarding has ever seen. He jumps out of a helicopter into a vert ramp with a torn shoulder, he jumps the great wall of china with a busted ankle… on a skateboard for gods sake!

So, considering the risks involved, it’s inevitable that he is wide open to injury and Danny has with out a doubt had his fair share! Sadly though he has another tally on the chalkboard this week at the Oi! Megarampa contest in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Danny suffered a fall that left him with 2 broken vertebrae. however, after less than a week in hospital Danny is out and on the road to recovery… get well soon Mr “i’m definitely not some kind of super human” Way!
