Will DC ever be cool again?
« on: March 29, 2020, 06:09:05 AM »
DC has a killer team without much dead weight(danny and colin).
Been enjoying chase webb lately, madars is fun to watch, T-funk’s cool and wes kremer has one of the best styles out there...but will they ever ditch the puffy shoe, dyrdek mtv stigma?

Last time I hit the local park I saw at least 20 different fools rockin dcs and the puffy shoes are “in” again. Chase Webb sucks.

it must be crazy when chico sells you something and the tables switch from "give me my money chico" to "giving my money to chico"

They had outstanding modern shoes 5-8 years ago and no one bought them. They had puffy shoe stigma but didn’t appeal to the puffy shoe wearers. Now they’re back in their lane and selling again.

Shrug.

I’m a sucker for these re-releases. Thought I’d never own a pair of OG Lynx again, and boy did I get a boner for those brown Wenning’s

If dc makes it out of the coronavirus depression they will rise from their ashes. I know that they got some “gang members” from sf on the team and the videos that will drop in the future can help them greatly....but the odds of them being a business after this is about a 2 percent chance.

Skating a pair of Tiago S right now. I know he´s on NB already but the shoes are treating my feet very well and look better than a lot of shoes on the market. Pretty cool in my book.

Philosophically speaking currently they are both cool
And not cool. But in your reality they are not cool. So what even is reality??

They make pretty solid shoes. Depends if more people buy them and try them that don't live in the Tri-State area. A lot of their marketing has been exclusively Philadelphia/NYC with a little Chase Webb/Tfunk/Evan on the West Coast. The team seems a little split between the Tri-State east coast riders and the West Coast riders which is pretty interesting.

How can DC be real if our feet aren’t real?

Currently skating in Tony Hawk's Lakai shoe. Before that, I was skating DC with a couple pair of e's for the last 5 years. They make solid shoes that I buy on clearance. I'm just not a full price kind of guy.

DC has an insanely difficult uphill battle of ever being cool again in the US, but I've always been impressed with their support of the Euro scene.

They don't make shoes that look nice but they have done a better job of supporting skaters outside of the US than most of their (former "core") peers.

I don’t think they will ever be as cool as they used to
be around the love park/kalis/stevie/wenning time,but who knows!?
I would love to get a pair of the og lynx but my pants are a little tighter now and I don’t think it looks good without baggys .also the price is a little over the top!

What was the price for lynx back in the days?

if you need to ask an internet forum if something is cool then you are not cool.

I think a lot of people just don't like the shoes lately because of the lack of big branding. It's not like the DC logo is the nike swoosh or anything and they don't put it on most of the shoes. But yeah the team is dope af

They had a chance to make a revival with Tiago, he seemed like the only new cat that could helm it properly.
