A year ago, DC Shoes set in motion a special multi-year project with fitted cap makers New Era. Dubbed 20|94, this project was borne out of the innate drive of pushing the design envelope.
The latest product from this relationship is the DC Volcano. The lime green and white premium leather upper is met with black suede highlights and red baseball stitching on the tongue. The black suede is comprised of Super Suede, a material 50% more durable than conventional suede while still maintaining the regular feel of suede; a material perfect for skating. Look for a matching New Era cap to compliment this release.
Available now at Shoeciety for 130 EUR (approximately $177 USD).
