Being a skateboarder and working in skateshop around 2007, I noticed how popular they were that people would buy them just to wear their logo, yet the soles were so crappy that they would disappear after just few months of walking. I was begging people to get any other brand from Sole Technologies or Fallen, but many went for DC and never came back to our shop ever again.

Moral of the story - Skate companies ran by actual skaters put out better products than companies ran by corporate businessmen.

around 2004 to 2008 in high school you couldn't get away from these shoes. I've had several pairs and loved them. Funny i came across this video because i seriously haven't even thought about them for several years

Recently DC‘s been killing it with the younger crowd Specially girls. I’ve been selling them like crazy at work. Can’t keep them on the shelf so it’s kind of cool to see them get a little resurgence.

I still rock DC even though I don't know about their history. It's unfortunate to hear that it's not that big compared to how it is now but, I feel it's still getting some more popularity due to nostalgia and people rocking more of a early 00s style

Need to a whole dive into quicksilver now. That story sounds just as interesting

In 2001 I had the Josh Kalis "The Truth" pro model and bright blue "The Reason" Stevie Williams pro models that looked like basketball shoes. Best era of skateboarding late 90s early 00s. I remember the DC movie being big in 03 and Dyrdek introduced the world to his own personal security guard, Big Black Christopher Boykin, to deal with security guards who were trying to stop Rob from skating. RIP Ken Block!🛹🙏🏾

I had no clue it was Droors that became DC Shoe, you live and you learn

I’ve always been a huge DC supporter since late 90’s. I used to tell everyone that they were the Nike of skate shoes, before Nike even made a skate shoe. I hope they can figure it out, cause I still love this brand🤘

I love my DC snowboard jackets & pants. Interesting collabs, comfortable fit, lots of good features at affordable prices.

Growing up in the early-mid 2000s even into the 2010s EVERYONE had a pair of DC’s. There were like those Stanley tumblers of today.

they should drop more lynx ogs, lukodas, reissues, and collabs with skate brands of now.

Sometimes I wear my DC cap to remember those days...

DC is the best looking of all the skate shoes in my opinion and I've owned several pairs and really liked 'em. I kinda forgot about DC and didn't even know they were still being made. Now that I know, I'm thinking

ive skated since 1989 and DC have been my favourite company all throughout these years. i have about 12 pairs of DC (half of them never worn yet) and tons of T shirts and hoodies. I also have that eightball t shirt still from about 1993 :) (at 0.55 in the vid)

You killed it with everything in this video I felt like I was a kid again in the early 2000s 💪 checking out your other stuff now

Another banger, well done dude. I always thought DC stood for Danny (Way) and Colin ( McKay) for some reason.

I’m not a skater, and spend 90% of my time in work boots, but that other 10% is DC only. Even managed to find a pair of full black formal DC’s that is can wear with a suit and no-one is the wiser. Great quality and great comfort.

still love their Court Grafik models and it's the shoe I've been wearing for almost 2 decades (in various colors). Their sweaters and shirts are very comfortable as well. Would really be sad if these wouldn't be available anymore.
