DC Men's Versatile Low Shoe Skate

Product Information

The Versatile is a DC Heritage style with an intricate with over-the-top design details that drip in DC DNA. These throwback shoes are largely popular due to nostalgia for an aesthetic, and the airbag is an integral part of that. Before I go into the colourways themselves, I will first look at some of the key pieces of technology placed within these shoes. As well as the durability improving, the environmental cost of the production of the shoe has also been considered.

This again has been transitioned over to Block’s pro-colourway white the white leather shoe seemingly dripping black paint from the top of it.

These airbags are described as ‘Sport-Tuned Suspension’ in a video released by DC earlier in the year for the build-up of the release of the shoe. Again, perhaps alluding to the performance car theme that seems to be quietly revving its engine behind the marketing of the shoe. The contours of the shoe also allow you to ride your skateboard or longboard with greater precision. This is of course something that just wasn’t possible for skate companies to achieve in the 2000s, yet DC is now using this insole technology in most of their shoes now, which is great news.

Leather, nubuck or suede upper (depending on colourway), Padded tongue and collar for comfort, Mesh lining, Embroidered quarter logo, Moulded TPR Heel Counter, Unilite™ midsole for lightweight comfort and support, 180 Degree Airbag for cushioning, Impact-ALG™ technology features a polyurethane airbag to provide superior cushioning and impact protection, Absorption abrasion-resistant sticky rubber outsole, DC´s trademarked Pill Pattern tread. Some classic DC elements are present, such as the IMPACT-ALG footbed, AAR outsole and DC pill pattern tread. Online Exclusive items cannot be delivered to the Channel Islands, Isle of man or the Isle of Wight. However, skaters who usually drive Vans or similar shoes must get used to the somewhat more robust footwear.

The Fiesta featured a paint job that appears to show a white Fiesta with black paint chucked over the top of the car, leaving a dripping effect down the sides, I imagine it is a wrap, but the illusion still works fine. We are unable to advise the exact amount as these charges vary and are determined by the destination country's customs department.

The intricate Versatile upper is layered in DC heritage with molded TPR, bold mesh panels and embroidered details.

Additionally, there is a solid argument to be made for using a modern after-market insole within a shoe such as the Versatile to increase comfort and protection even more so. So it is no surprise that they have stuck to this model and re-released the Versatile, a popular shoe in the mid-2000s. Starting off with the most visible aspect of the Versatile’s high-tech features would be the 180° heel ‘airbags’.

The DC Versatile is a brand new shoe by DC Shoes that marries both the legacy design DNA of the 1990s and the modern footwear technologies available today.
