Rad Collector has looks at Rob Dyrdek’s new DC collection, RD-0915AW. “It’s hard to believe that it took 14 years to happen, although he probably planned it that way, but Rob Dyrdek is launching his first full apparel, accessory and footwear line with DC this fall. The RD0915AW collection, which is flipped from the branding on Dyrdek’s first DC shoe, includes custom fit skate denim, a lightweight zip fleece, T-shirts, hats, wallets, a leather jacket, and Rob’s 15th footwear model, the RD1 Mid.” Interesting to see a nod to the Common Projects-style heel branding from the skate market. Hits stores October 1st, 2009.

Take a look at the full apparel collection here.

On the heels of Crooks & Castles’ and The Hundreds’ collaborative bikes with SE Racing, comes the third installment in DC’s co-branded project with the seminal bike label.

The latest DC Spruce Hi model is done up in a patchwork of argyle, plaid and zebra patterns. The hi-top shoes’ over the top prints are balanced out slightly by a muted brown and navy color story.

Coinciding with the release of Blabac Photo is the Blabac Azure mid, the first DC signature shoe that has been made for a non-professional team member.

For Spring 2009 DC introduces its first Signature Apparel Collection featuring designs from Danny Way. Working closely with DC designers to make the products 100% his own, Danny has created a custom jean and a corduroy pant. Though signature shoes have served as the cornerstone of the DC strategy for over 15 years, this Signature Danny Denim Collection is the first time DC has offered apparel stamped with a team rider name. Besides being the greatest skateboarder ever, Danny is a man with a defined and unique style, so who better than him to kick off DC signature apparel.

Check out this interview with Danny, talking about the new signature denim.

DC is proud to announce that it has teamed with New York artist SSUR for its third collaboration in the DC Artists Projects™ Series. The SSUR III Artist Projects™ shoe will launch November 1, 2008.

“An Eye for an Eye Leaves the Whole World Blind”—that’s the ominous warning running throughout SSUR’s third project with DC. When designing the first half of the project, SSUR III, the artist featured a military thematic as a cautionary tale against war. Earthy and dark greens, blacks and browns set off orange color hits. As with all the other Artist Projects™ he’s done with DC so far, “PAY ME” is stamped across the lace holders.

An all in all solid Fall/Winter sneaker in nice colors is coming from the third DC Artist Project x SSUR collaboration. After the recent Aaron Rose collaboration, this makes yet another strong shoe. Look out for the release this weekend at select retailers.

Detailed images follow after the jump.

Check your local DC door for the collection.

Designed by Pat Smith, these "Lakeside Killers" sneakers celebrate 20 years of CalSurf’s commitment to the Twin City skate scene. Why Lakeside? The shop is on Lake St.,next to a lake, and some of the people on staff are old enough to remember when the LA Lakers played in MPLS. Limited to 100 pairs, 40 mid and 60 low, the set comes in home and away make up.

After the recent collaboration with Methamphibian, DC Shoes now got together with artist/curator Aaron Rose. DC and The 96 Tears SC will launch the Aaron Rose DC Artist Projects™ shoe series tonight, July 17th, at Choke Motorcycle Shop in Los Angeles. 
The shoe comes in a brown suede colorway with gum sole and a plaid lining. All in all simple and on point. The problem with many artist collaborations is, that by applying too much printing and artwork to the upper, it makes it impossible to actually wear them. That is not at all the case with this collaboration. Via Juxtapoz.
