I really don't understand DC. Didn't they just cut a bunch of people off the team due to budget cuts? Now they're adding new people on?

Cut the budget - Cut riders - get new riders, pay them less than previous riders.

Whats the last significant DC video project? Seems like Brian Panebianco did the heavy lifting for their visibility but besides that, they have no presence. Seems like a revolving door company and he'll be on NB in a couple years.

In 2026…DC is a valid brand only if it comes from a thrift store…..

This just brought back a memory of finding a dc hoodie in my high schools gym locker room(I was in 8th grade) and I wore it only to be confronted by the senior who left it but totally let me keep it and was stoked that I skated.

What was the last DC shoe that sold? Have they designed any new models that did well?

Who would have ever thought, that DC is introducing an new rider with a noseslide?
Title: Re: Yuri Facchini on DC

Fitting.  I’d buy a pair of Legacy Slims in 2026, those things were great.

I think he fits. Hope to see more footage of him.

This ain’t it chief. I understand the need for a paycheck, but Facchini’s footage in the latest deathwish vid was made that much cooler by his mostly wearing dunks. DC has had like 4 complete revamps in the last decade or so and all of them have fizzled out. Just bury the brand and be done with it please.

Fachhini fits on DC well in my opinion.

My 2 cents on the DC general talk: Now that there´s no more og lakai they could rerealese the Howards. I know chances are second to none but that model was so dope.

he was fully on Nike SB for years and they kicked him off.. he still wore the dunks but probably made sense to start making moves.

I asked Rickk directly and he said he heard they might be.  Not an answer to hang your hat on, but he came across as someone who would view a re-release positively

It’s not recent shoe, but I had a several pairs of the Kalis Centric s like a decade+ ago, I loved them, and I saw a fair amount of those in the wild

I don't think he was ever fully on Nike SB, I know he had one of those Stock X deals for a while and it seemed like those Stock X guys were just getting flowed Nikes after that whole thing ended...

This seems like a good match on paper, but sometimes it just seems like DC just exists, and nothing more...

I guess I haven't been checking the Nike SB team page as much as I did when I was 14...

yeah i recall seeing his name and photo on the nike sb team page. i think he was first on an international program and then got on the actual team.

speaking of DC - maybe its a move to get back into the Brazilian market?

Too little too late? Lost Tiago years back and as much as I love Yuri this is a disappointing sponsor choice.

Hope he's getting paid
