Artist Huck Gee worked with DC on a special Ken Block collection that consists of 4 sneakers, a t-shirt and a New Era cap. Inspired by Ken’s racing career, Huck created a custom “Block” head featuring the number 43 (Ken’s race number) that adorns each item. The sneakers are offered in both “murdered-out” (as pictured above) or a more colorful “drippy” option that matches Ken’s Ford Fiesta. The black shoe pictured comes out for Fall 10. Ken also worked on a new TeamWorks Collection that launches Holiday 10 – the drip shoe pictured is from that series. Stay tuned for a closer look.

Take the leap for more looks at the Huck Gee x DC Ken Block Collection.
