Danny Way is off all DC websites and posts some weird stuff right after it.

Claims he tried to buy it, but that it didn't work out ...

Damn, that team page is illuminating. Besides no D Way, No Madars, no Colin McKay, No Adilson Pedro, no Aleka Lang, no Shaun Paul, no Jaakko, no Josh Wilson... Team is slimming up.

Can't wait for @DGKALIS to mention something. Come back to Slap and fill us in.

Looks like Cory Long is now with Sorel as President, and Michael Minter went over to Reef as Chief Marketing Officer. I gotta be honest, DC was in the hole years ago before they really started doing these retros the right way and really dedicating a lot of focus on refining their product. I hated DC like any kid growing up in the mid 00s/early 10s, when Court Graffiks were the calling card of non-skater white trash d-bags, when Dyrdek was plastered on MTV 24/7, but their output in the last three years won me over. I really don't think this is going to go well, considering their other holdings. Reebok is still dogshit two years after acquisition, Airwalk resorted to selling $20 shoes at Forever 21, Vision Streetwear is atrocious, Barney's NY doesn't even exist as a company, Brooks Brothers has no vision. I mean this company is literally owned by Blackrock. Shady as fuck. Sad times.

Damon’s story says DC is ducking Danny’s contract renewal talks.

DC already trimmed the fat of the likes of Wes kremer, Evan smith, and maders. I’d find it hard for him to put forward a compelling argument to keep him on the payroll, especially with active pro kalis occupying the legend slot.

Sell the brand and riders get cut. It’s happen a million times.

Yup, hate to see it, especially to someone who was there since day one, but it's the sad truth with big buyouts like this. I also wonder how long Kalis has left with his current contract. He seems to be doing well looking at his insta but he's in the same frame as DWay, loyal to the end?

Doesn't make much sense.

Good post. Yeah, they were coming back and I believe that was because Damon Way rejoined the company and was realigning their strategy in the right direction. But Danny Way being cut seems like a telltale sign that this time around, they're done.

Doesn't make much sense.

From an investor/buyout standpoint… paying dudes to not put out footage* for over a decade doesn’t make sense.

*yeah they had that old footage drop from that Hawaii ramp but aside from that, what are they getting paid to do? The dudes buying/skating Lynxes would be regardless of Danny Way, hate to say it.
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

I’m assuming some might have longer set contracts or they have shoes in line for production with their name on it.

heard ABG announced to cut all team categories to 1-2 riders each when they acquired boardriders. You can already see it with RVCA only keeping Curren and Spanky. Also heard DC wouldn't have as drastic of cuts but would still have cuts nonetheless

Heard they are looking to move DC into a workwear boot brand, which is stupid.
I never understand someone buying something to completely destroy it.

Team page has really slimmed up, Shame Tommy Flynn was chopped.
Kalis should go back to adidas😎

I have to think you're joking about the workboot thing but funnily there's a few random old skate/surf/moto? brands that have turned into workwear brands in Aus.

they’re not turning DC into a workwear brand, authentic just licensed out the rights to a side company to make workwear boots with DC branding. This is aside from the company that DC is supposed to be licensed out to

this is on brand of what DC is currently owned by, they do two things: license out the name, straight to outlet/liquidator..... meanwhile, we think the whole thing could have been avoided if they just had the right team.......

I heard it through the skate shop rumor mill that the DC team will be slimmed down to just Kalis, Shanahan, Lucien, and Jahmir.
