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.

JENKEM – John Gardner’s Tips for Building Up Your Mental Health
Phrases like “mental health,” “stress,” and “anxiety” sometimes feel like empty buzzwords that get thrown around too freely these days, but when you read into what people are actually talking about, you’ll realize we hear these words so often because so many people are dealing with real mental health issues and finally have a way to talk about it.
John is obviously not a doctor or certified expert, but he is someone that has been working on himself and is passionate about improving his own mental health and our community’s, too. Hopefully tools like this can play a small part in breaking the cycle of losing skaters to self-harm and suicide. – JENKEM
