Skate brand DC Shoes has hit up two big time boutiques, Brooklyn Projects and Commonwealth, to release two packs of sneakers. Each boutique was given the opportunity to design two different colorways for their respective models. The Brooklyn Projects Voltron models include a gray/red and black/blue colorway which feature multi-material uppers such as patent and crocodile patent. The insole is monogrammed with the Brooklyn Projects logo. On the other hand, Commonwealth chose the canvas Gatsby shoe to create an all-over upper in red and black. The tab along the outstep features a Commonwealth tag as opposed to the DC tag seen on the general release version of the Gatsby. No word yet on the release date.

The sunglasses come in a pouch featuring the iconic Maharishi camo print. Look for these to drop in October.
