A couple weeks ago we re-introduced you to DC Shoes’ Life collection with the impressive entry of Rob Dyrdek’s signature Royal model. Now in case you aren’t a fan of over-zealous patent leather, then the latest pairs to hit the shelves may be just right for you.

If this silhouette seems vaguely familiar then you probably own a pair from which it were tweaked. These are the new Admiral Sport, and as the title suggests, they’re the athletically modified version of the classic Admirals we had in stock a few months ago.

More a shoe for active use rather than just lounging, these boys are packing a few anatomical upgrades to help them stand up to whatever the rigors of your day to day life may be. Full-grain leather, double reinforced stitching, panache boot styling, whatever you need for durability and comfort, these have it. A definite must for the casual fan.

With more straps than a straight jacket and ankle support to the moon, the futuristic, space-boot aesthetic has been fostered, advanced and swagger-jacked by nearly everyone looking to get a piece of the sneaker market. From Diet Butcher, Ato Matsumoto, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simmons, Supra, and even Nike (Air Yeezy, anyone?), the architecture of footwear seems to headed in the same direction as our skylines. And the pair above is no exception.

Coming out of L.A., Android Homme (pronounced “ôm” or “awm”) has been putting in work pushing the boundaries (and heights) of modern footwear. This time it’s round 2 for the newly re-tooled Propulsion Hi. Many of you got your first look at the Propulsion from last year’s holiday collection, and my what a difference a year makes.

Dramatically grown up from the patent-leather heavy editions of yesteryear, this drop sports a much less glitzy exterior. Featuring a well combinated upper of buttery suede and suave leather, these are sure to break necks – albeit in a less blinding sort of way. Like the pair below these pups sport heavily padded ankles and an all white vulcanized sole.

But wait, theres more!

In addition to the B/W color-up, we’ve also stocked a sick-ass pair in ash grey. You might have seen this pair floating around the web recently (most notably kicksonfire.com) but now you can get all hands-on with em yourself. Featuring uppers comprised of a slick distressed leather, with cream ankle pads atop an all white sole. While the black & white colorway might be the more conventional choice for those who wanna keep things fresh, the color and material on the ash pair provide a stark contrast in philosophy – like denim, these actually get better with age.

Autotune may be over, but you can still match the scene when Drake or Cudi start playing. Rocket-boots never looked so good.

My, my, Mr. Dyrdek, you have been busy. If you’ve ever heard of Rob Dyrdek (a name you should have if you’ve been alive at any point within the past 3 years) then it should be a given that you’ve heard of his sponsor, DC Shoes. Well since ‘07 DC’s been making strides in the world off-board and the newest addition to their collection (dubbed DC Life) demonstrates how their considerable growth and innovation is finally starting to hit its peak. The wild thing you see above is the latest signature sneak of none other than Dyrdek himself.

DC’s always had a penchant for flamboyant design, from the super-techie made-for-skate fat-boy lows, to their skyscraping high top lifestyle shoes. These obviously follow in the footsteps of the latter, with the extra high cut sporting some ridiculously padded ankle supports that may only truly close if you use the velcro strap. The combo patent leather and nylon canvas panels set atop an all white sole make this a runway look while still holding true to the label’s signature style.

But don’t be fooled, just because this looks like a runway shoe doesn’t mean you should easily for get who made them. DC is still a skate company first, which means comfort and durability are of the highest priorities. Look good and feel good, now that’s the life.

Every now and again a drop comes through with contents that require a bit more class to pull off properly. And by class I don’t mean getting all whored down with giant Polo horses. Sometimes it takes a little less than a continually overused logo. Sometimes you gotta get your shoes a little dirty (sort of). Vintage Americana is where it’s at on this drop, and the fashions you see above are brought to you than none other than – wait for it – Timberland!

Now before you go turning your noses up and completely write these off, hear me out at least. These Timbs aren’t the old tree stamps you’ve grown accustomed to, and you wont go stomping a mudhole in anyone with ‘em either. Manufactured by Timberland Boot Co. (same guys, higher tier) these were crafted with a timeless, blue collar aesthetic in mind, complete with pre-made creases, scuffs, over-polishing and the like.

For those out there that get all paranoid when you stub your toe or feel someone kick your heel, these ain’t fresh whites! So take it easy, the extra damage is probably doing you a favor. And since hobo chic doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, feel free to F’ these up even more – it might feel good to lose the duck walk for a change.

C’mon, as if you would’ve expected anything less.

The line was a little shorter than expected, but still love nonetheless. We appreciate all the heads that came out and weathered the storm with us. Hope to see y’all back for the next one…

Something for all you Spiz’ike heads out there. Tomorrow, you can complete this year’s collection by coppin the Stealth’s up here @ F². No doubt you may have to compete with all the fiends milling around here concerning that “other” drop, but when heads connect it’s always a beautiful thing. Don’t be intimidated by all the lawn chairs out front, they won’t bite.

So what if it’s hot outside, all black never fails. Another day, another drop from Nike. And more love for the Toki’s and Aina’s. While still a small shipment the decision to mix things up with the sum-of-no-colors provides a well overdue alternative in a season where over-zealous chromatics typically reign supreme. If you dig casual but just can’t dodge the “swoosh” then come cop a pair, especially since day 2 of our super-huge Memorial Weekend blowout is tomorrow.
