The Sector 7s also feature a purple translucent sole. No photos have surfaced just yet, but expect a SIXPACK-designed graphic to be visible from underneath.

DC Life Admiral Sport

DC Life Admiral Sport

DC’s non-skate sector has been pumping out some solid colorways and collabs lately, including this SURU x DC Life Xander, and now we have this Admiral Sport model for New Year’s Day, 2010.

The uppers on these may make for the shiniest sneaker outside of Lil Wayne’s birthday Supras. Slathered in chrome, you’ll never have to find a mirror to check your look. The Admiral Sport is essentially an Admiral High with a strap, and the subtle touches of red and black help to break up the finish. The white vulcanized sole holds everything together, and keeps these from being too over the top.

Are these just too much for you, or are they going to bring in 2010 just right?

SURU x DC Life Xander

SURU x DC Life Xander

Skate company DC has released a lot of great non-skate models out of their DC Life label as of late. For fall of 2009, they partnered with retailer SURU on this high top Xander sneaker, with a little help from a certain artist and musician.

Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, bandmate of SURU owner Joe Hahn, provided the original artwork for the sole, which is a nice touch for those who only catch a glimpse as the wearer passes by. Like most of the DC Life designs, including the complete Fall Collection we showed you not too long ago, this sneaker maintains a clean design in black and light blue, all over a white vulcanized sole. The SURU logo appears on both the side of the ankle and the tongue. Mike Shinoda’s participation is given its due credit on the tongue as well, making for a total of three logos in that spot. These are limited to 500 pairs, so make sure to get on them quick when they release this holiday season.

DC Life Xander Duct Tape

DC Life Summer 2009 Xander

Working our way through the DC Life Summer 2009 Collection, we’ve previously shown you a few silhouettes including the Volcano DSTX, and Dress Sneaker. Now we have a look at the Xander high top in a truly unique makeup.

The DC Life Xander comes from the “High Life on the Riviera” collection for the summer of 2009. DC has taken materials that have been previously seen on other sneakers, but applies them in a unique fashion. The uppers are a combination of grip tape, notorious for tearing up skate shoes, and duct tape to protect the rest of the shoe from itself.

What do you think of these latest from DC Life?
