Travis Pastrana’s DC Shoes Bike

Travis Pastrana's DC Shoes Bike

DC Shoes’ resident expert on motocross, skydiving and all around shenanigans added a new meaning to “burning rubber” lately, as he had his dirtbike rigged in a very special fashion. Both wheels of his bike were given special one-off wheels treaded with DC Shoes, making up for the lack of regular tires.

In the video after the jump, you can see the process by which these are made, and watch Pastrana give these the ultimate torture test. The stunt was designed and filmed for MTV’s Nitro Circus and also a DC ad running now. Travis proclaims that DCs are “the only shoe [he rides],” but it’s fair to say that even he didn’t fully understand how true that statement could prove to be.

Air Jordan Retro Noctilucence Socks

Air Jordan Retro Noctilucence Socks

They didn’t call the man Air Jordan for no reason. Taking a scientific name for clouds that are visible at high altitudes, the Air Jordan Retro Noctilucence Socks pack pays tribute to some of Michael’s most popular sneakers ever.

Going above and beyond just branding a sock and putting it in the appropriate colors, JB uses label specific to each shoe. For instance, the XI sock uses the signature sideways text, and the VI uses a label modeled after the lace lock. Other shoes include the XII “Taxi” and “Nubuck” and the XI “Concord” and “Space Jam,” among others. The II sock even gets the old school “wings” logo and the XII gets the heel logo form the “Taxi’s”. The socks, which will release sometime next year, even come in a special shoe box package covered in clouds.

Click here to see the pics and weigh in on your favorite sock-shoe combination.
