DC hosted its first annual all women’s skate jam at Stoner Plaza in LA yesterday, welcoming any and all ladies to come hang and battle it out for $1500 in cash. We held three separate jams on different obstacles, handing out $20s for individual tricks and $300 to the overall winners of each jam. Props to Skylar Chadwick, Isii Campos, and Amanda Castillo for taking the cake.

DC SHOES : JOHN GARDNER COLLECTION
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. Shop the Collection HERE.
DC SHOES : BLACK SABBATH COLLAB
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.

DC SHOES : CUBA SKATE
DC Films is proud to present Cuba Skate. This short documentary highlights the efforts of the nonprofit organization and their dedication to cultivating a sustainable future for skateboarding in Cuba. DC pro Madars Apse joined a crew of skaters and cinematographers as they got a hands-on, inside look at the burgeoning skate scene in Cuba. Beyond just bringing skateboarding to the island, the film showcases how Cuba Skate brings the youth together and helps them to develop useful life skills.
DC SHOES : SABOTAGE x DC

DC SHOES : SABOTAGE “NO LOVE LOST”
For years, Philly-based Sabotage Productions has been pumping out nostalgic skate edits reminiscent of the early days of Love Park. Their love for DC’s Heritage styles inspired them to bring the Lynx OG and Kalis OG back into the lineup in 2018. In fact, DC even consulted the Sabotage crew to make sure they were exactly the same as the originals that they released over 20 years before. To bring it all full circle in 2021, DC designed a custom collection with Sabotage—featuring a Heritage-inspired Lynx OG colorway with a first-ever tongue stash pocket and custom beanie.
To accompany this limited release, DC produced NO LOVE LOST, a mini documentary highlighting the Sabotage crew and their role in bringing back our Heritage styles.
100 Heelflips with Ish Cepeda In The DC Manual Hi – CCS
Get ready for liftoff as DC Shoes launches the new Manual Hi shoe with an inaugural colorway by Ish Cepeda. CCS ground control commander Matt Price headed over to Cherry Park with Ish to give his new sneakers an on-camera test flight. Fortunately for us, Ish kept things fresh by opting for the rare 100 HEELFLIP wear test with a whole cargo hold full of side missions into the ledges, flat rail, manual pads, and over the hydrant. Will Ish touchdown successfully or will these DCs blow out upon reentry?
DC SHOES : BASQUIAT COLLECTION
For 2021, DC proudly honors the legacy of Jean-Michel Basquiat with a footwear and apparel collection featuring 21 paintings from the artist’s most prolific year. As a brand rooted in skateboarding and streetwear, DC’s collision of 90’s East Coast style and West Coast creativity aligns naturally with Jean-Michel Basquiat’s voice and vision.
DC SHOES : ISH CEPEDA CAPSULE
DC is proud to launch Ish Cepeda’s first DC capsule. As a native of Cape Canaveral, FL (area code 321!) and lover of all things cosmic, Ish created a collection that pays homage to both.
