DC x Spring 2009

DC, everyone’s favorite urban skate brand, is really stepping up their game lately. We’ve given all sorts of attention to their collaboration efforts with the likes of agnes B and Lemar & Dauley. For Spring 2009 they kept things both in-house, as well as continuing the partnership spirit. The DC LIFE collection includes a low “dress sneaker” model as well as hi-tops, a design that is clearly making a return (Terminators, Kanye’s kicks, etc) The colorways are very simple and don’t draw too much attention, but have enough of an edge to turn heads. They also are introducing a couple of tees and v-necks, but what really caught my eye is their skate backpack collaboration with infamous accessory maker Incase. The multifunction “Strapped” bag offers protection for your laptop and, of course, all your gear. It even carries your board on the front.
