For the Love of Skateboarding
Jahmir Brown is a proud product of his environment. Coming from the tough streets of Philly, skateboarding presented Jahmir with fresh opportunities that he took full advantage of — he claimed his spot on the DC team, and earned the chance to travel and skate all over the world.
All this, thanks to his skateboard, inimitable style and love for Philly.
DC is proud to introduce the limited DC X ANDY WARHOL collaboration. To honor the creative legacy of the preeminent American artist of the 20th century, DC teamed up with The Andy Warhol Foundation to merge his vision with signature DC footwear and apparel styles. As a brand founded on the idea of “COLLISIONS,” they adopted a unique approach to the project by creating four themed narratives — WAR & PEACE, SAINTS & SINNERS, LIFE & DEATH, and STRENGTH & FRAGILITY. Each story combines iconic, yet otherwise unrelated, works from the Warhol archive to invite new perspectives. Shop the Warhol Collection HERE.

John Gardner is on a mission to shine a light on suicide and mental health awareness within the skate community. To help in his efforts, John designed an eco-friendly skate collection that raises awareness while also raising funds for the Diné Skate Garden Project in New Mexico. John will be donating all of his royalties to help with the skatepark build, and DC will be matching his contribution.
John designed a 100% vegan-friendly colorway of DC’s popular Manual Hi with an organic cotton upper and IMPACT-ALG™ insoles made from algae blooms. As a gift with purchase, the shoes also come with a limited zine curated by Gardner himself—including facts about mental health, selfcare tips, breathing techniques and other tools that could be useful for anyone suffering from depression.

Black Sabbath’s music—and the heavy metal movement it spawned—is eternally linked to skateboarding history. Sabbath has been the soundtrack for some of the heaviest-hitting video parts of all time. It’s still the pump-up music for skaters—packed into smoke-filled cars, stumbling from spot to spot as Sweet Leaf puffs out of the shitty, blown-out speakers. And, 50 years on from their genre-defining 1971 album, Master of Reality, DC is celebrating one of the
most important heavy metal albums of all time. The BLACK SABBATH COLLECTION pays homage to this anniversary and the unbreakable link between their music and skateboarding.
