Available exclusively at boutiques that carry the DC Life Collection, Nash unleashes his first collaborative effort ever. Using the DC Monterey as a base, Nash twisted, tore, and ripped the shoe apart, only to stitch it back together again, adding a custom crepe bottom. It’s Frankenstein meets mad scientist meets an old English gentleman inspiration. Above all, it’s English wildfowler (duck hunter) meets mature street wear. The old English wildfowler aspect sees the use of luxury, hard-wearing fabrics, with the incorporation of earth colors. Paisley print was brought to the lining to add to the overall air of sophistication. The sneaker is already available in the US and will launch in Europe in November.
Here below you can check out a video about the making of the sneaker.

DC has partnered with Sixpack France for their latest Double Label Project. The collection, dubbed “Non Merci”, draws from inspirations that cross political borders, embrace impossible love and yet harbor deep feelings. Meaning “no thanks” in French, the translation of “Non Merci” can also be interpreted as “I’m over it.” For the project, the symbol of this mindset is a beautiful blonde model that exudes “Non Merci”, placing her on an untouchable pedestal as an object of desire.
Two DC LIFE silhouettes, the Xander and Sector 7, are detailed with custom Sixpack patterns and logos, and trimmed with pigskin leathers. Clear soles on both shoes are underlain with the image of the blonde model. Accompanying the footwear is a lambskin leather hooded jacket, a reversible crewneck pullover, and a zip hoodie. Available now at DC flagship stores select boutiques worldwide. For more information please visit DCShoes.com.
