BLENDS x DC LIFE Admiral
Posted by George Kiel III | Apr 13, 2009
A couple of weeks ago, we previewed the DC LIFE Dress Sneaker, and those who commented stated that the peculiar shoe was average at best. However, we have now found a more detailed DC LIFE sneaker that is the product of a Japanese collaboration. Dubbed the DC LIFE Admiral, this shoe was manufactured and designed with the help of retailer BLENDS. This high-top sneaker contains a 100% white leather upper combined with a white rubber sole. Other details include perforated side panels, white custom shoelaces and a silver DC logo tag to the left of the side panels. In addition, this sneaker also possesses custom insoles inspired by Japanese playing cards. Click here to view the DC LIFE Admiral retail locations. |

Supra has been coming on strong sales-wise because of their designs & strong team. It’s no surprise there’s a goods overlap in an industry so packed with merchandising and marketing.

Please, you comparing DC to Supra… That’s like comparing NiKE to Bape. DC has been around pioneering since ‘94.
I think what they have done with this model is smart and simple mature design.
Their young fan base since ‘94 is now in their late 20’s and this is a shoe that will keep their aging consumer on lock.
The Supra’s and Bape’s of the industry would only be so lucky to see growth after 15 years if that!!!!!!

those look terrible in my opinion, and although they may not have copied Suppra, all i see in my mind is a weak version of the skytop, not to say the skytop is a nice shoe itself, but def better than these

yo hi-topper i think u got DC mixed with the vans my dude, the first company to bust out casual shoe for the sk8 culture was by vans, specifically the vans slip-on, and that was back in the early 80s my dude.

Yo! These kicks are sick! And they are comfy. I got a pair in the grey/ turq.colorway.
As for the Supra bitin’…I’ll say this, Supra IS fresh, but the FIRST company to bust out casual shoes for the Sk8 culture was DC. Back when NO ONE understood that sk8 kicks can be rocked and not just trashed during sk8in’. Thats Sk8 kick HISTORY homies! The Skytop silo is OG, but what? No other company can come out with a Hi-top nowadays?

It takes look sort of like a Skytop wannabe. Just a little bit.

I can say Supra, why do you ask?
if you’re trying to say these are a Supra jack, then I gotta say, you’re blind
it’s kind of an ugly silhouette though… looks pretty uncomfortable
