DC Shoes has released their LIFE collection for the holidays. The collection features both the Sector 7 and the Admiral High model in luxurious makeups.
Featuring premium grey nubuck, perforated side panels, black woven effect pattent leather toes and waxed laces, these kicks look slick. The Admiral features a blue foam-padded tongue and padded collar for extra comfort and support, along with performance cup sole construction for strength and flexibility.
The Sector 7, which also has touches of blue to accent the grey and black makeup, is almost nice enough to double as a dress shoe. It features a white bottom with DC’s trademark pill pattern. The sole design offers excellent contact, wear and flexibility.
You can grab these shoes at your local DC Shoes retailer or online from Urban Industry, where you can get the Admiral for £87.75 and the Sector 7 for £77.95. Via Hypebeast.
This December, DC Life will release their holiday pack which takes inspiration from the British punk rock scene of the 80s. The pack includes three models – Admiral, Gatsby and Volcano – all dressed up in black premium leather with touches of red plaid.
The high top Admiral keeps the use of the plaid to a minimum, mainly in the lining of the shoes, while the other two models use the red plaid a bit more.
These kicks are set to hit DC boutiques next month. If you are a fan of the scene, grab a pair. Via Complex.

Something bright and summery for the ladies – DC Shoes has just released two new Manteca 2 Mids.
Thes shoes feature colorful uppers in glittery shades. If you are looking to make a bold statement this summer, these sneakers will definitely do it. The shoe pictured above is kind of cool with a retro appeal, though very bright. The second colorway after the jumpy is just too overwhelming for me. The black against the pink is too much.
These Manteca 2s are available now at Goliath. Via Sneaker News.
Check out these DC shoes that are a part of the Remix Project – a collaboration with Mike Shinoda. Shinoda is best known for his work with Linkin Park, the band he has been a part of since 1996.
The intrinsic designs used in these two shoes, the MSDC Xander and the MSDC Pride, are very interesting. Numerous patterns and textures are utilized to give the DC shoes a look of their own. The two main colors in the color scheme are gray and brown. Multiple shades of gray and brown appear throughout the design.
Proceeds from the MSDC Remix Series project go to a scholarship fund to support the Art Center College of Design, Mike’s alma mater.
Mike’s shoes will be showcased in a gallery show being held at the Japanese American National Museum. An opening event will be held for the public on July 11th from 8 -10pm. Both the MSDC Xander and the MSDC Pride will go on sale beginning August 1st at select boutiques worldwide and on Mike’s website. Via High Snobiety.
