DC Shoes - Some Amazing Facts on Design and Technology

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Here we give the amazing facts about the ingenuity and technology that goes into designing the international and no.1 lifestyle and skate shoes- DC Shoes  DC footwear signature technologies include the construction of the shoe for performance and ventilation system, as well as grip, durability and cushioning.

DC footwear is made with the unique Dynamic Grip Technology and is engineered around the fact that each part of a skate shoe’s sole does different things, and wears out at different rates.  With DGT, there is soft rubber for control on ollies and flips, there is medium rubber for grip and traction, and there’s tough, thick rubber for durability.  Medium rubber for traction and soft rubber for control.

DC have taken the concept of Dynamic Grip Technology one step further with DGT plus.  DC shoes have taken their softest rubber and made it even softer for supreme gripping and control in the toe and ollie areas.  It may not last for ever, however while it does it is the gummiest rubber DC have to offer.

The DC Pill Pattern; born from the culmination of designs by various artists working to come up with a pattern for the shoe sole that represented the DC name, it emulates an oval pill shape, however it is broken in the center by the capital letters D and C, a configuration that satisfies both elements.  The scale of the highly functional pattern can be varied to optimize traction, sole flex and board feel.

DC has developed its very own exclusive compostion of polyurethane and dubbed it Performalite.  It is softer and much lighter than standard polyurethane, meaning the overall weight of the shoe is lighter.

The Aerotech Ventilation System; this exclusive DC technology makes use of an airflow channel embedded in a polyurethane midsole tochannel air through a thermoplastic urethane shank.  The airflow helps lower the temperature inside the shoe, making it cool and comfortable to wear.

Select models of DC’s high performance skate shoes have a thermoplastic urethane airbag to provide superior cushioning.  Three sizes of airbags are used to enhance the performance of DC’s footwear.

Another significant piece of technology in select models of DC footwear is the Heel Impact Protection Gel.  The shoe has a gel pocket made from rubber and polyurethane in the heel area.  DC set it into the sole to disperse the shock of impact from big drops and landings.

Performance Wrap Cup Sole; DC have been able to create any kind of outsole aesthetic imaginable.  Different colours, prints, textures, logos, airbag windows, and more, while still incorporating DC exclusive footwear technologies.  The look you want, the performance you demand.

With Super Suede, DC has created a superior version of the material of choice for skateboarders.  Super Suede is 50% more durable and lasts longer while retaining the no-break-in time and soft feel of regualr suede.

Take a look at our Holiday 09′ DC collection and if you cannot see the style you are looking for, just call us and we will endeavour to order in for you.

Happy Shopping for DC shoes.
