DC Shoes

The History of DC Shoes

DC Shoes from Huntington Beach, California embody extreme sports like few other brands on earth. DC was founded in 1993 by rally driver Ken Block and Damon Way, skate legend Danny Way’s brother. DC Shoes was bought by Quiksilver in 2004. The company has made a name for themselves for their stylish, functional skate shoes. In the beginning, their shoes were designed according to the specific preferences of their team riders (such as Danny Way, Mike Carroll and Rick Howard) and eventually branched out into other clothing categories as well. In addition to skate shoes, clothing and accessories, DC also sells snowboard/surf gear and backpacks.

In addition to a skate team, DC sponsors snowboarders, motocross riders, surfers and other athletes as well.

Skateboarding is DC Shoes
