Since its foundation as Droors Clothing by Ken Block and Damon Way, DC Shoes has been one of the pinnacle growth stories in action sports. The brand has grown immensely since its inception, in part due to its unwavering dedication to supporting the activities it loves the most. This chiefly involves skateboarding, and the brand has continually maintained a decorated roster of the most prolific professional skaters in addition to other action sport athletes. Behind the scenes, DC also maintains a committed team of professional designers to push the envelope, and from Unilite to Super Suede technology, their efforts have been successful.

Enjoy.

They will be getting a lot more fans on their fast rolling bandwagon through the year as well since they are traveling all over America opening up for Luke Bryan on tour. Enjoy.

It may actually make some sense after all. Enjoy.

Several new hands-free Air gestures are of particular interest as they now expand the realm of interaction beyond just normal tactile use. Enjoy.
