DC Flawless, the flawless mens skate shoe

Can anyone stop DC’s irrepressible domination of the skate shoe market? From their earliest models they have shown incredible attention to detail both in terms of looks and practicality, not to mention the highest credibility in the business. Indisputably one of the world leaders in their field, turning out season after season of hardwearing and stylish shoes as comfortable in the park as in the club. 

DC Flawless Mens Skate Shoe

The DC team says it all, from the raw power of Danny Way, one of their earliest pros to the innovative technicality of their latest high profile signing - man of the moment Chris Cole, anyone can see this is a company with its finger firmly on the pulse. Who better to have on the design team than Rob Dyrdek? Long time DC team rider and collaborator plus most recently creator of the Street League Series skateboarding competition series, this is surely a winning combination which will no doubt be churning out classic styles for years to come.

You can see their knowledge of the industry straight away in the DC Flawless. Technical touches paired with classical styling and a fresh colour scheme, these shoes are a timeless classic. The tough suede outer will keep them stiff and your feet well supported even after hours of wear, and the DC “Pill” pattern sole provides the durability you would expect from a top shoe without losing the flex to ensure great board feel and movement.  The cushioned tongue and foam collar will provide that extra protection around the ankle not to mention giving a dope appearance and super comfortable feel. All in all a winning formula in looks and comfort, in the park, on the trails or paired with some crisp denim on the streets. 

Nike 6.0 Air Mogan Men's Shoe

Shoes are not only meant for professional athletes; the footwear used by common people far exceeds in number and they expect more out of a pair and for longer spans than just an athlete deriving optimum performance just for a couple of minutes (or might be for a little longer). That blends in the looks, the build quality, the comfort, the durability and also, the price for a pair. All that direct towards the Nike 6.0 Air Mogan men’s shoes, offering a style to suit skaters, joggers and those with a preference to keep distant from leather boots during the weekends.

That can be defined with just two words: Support and Comfort, embodied through innovative creativity and translating to an impeccable performance for the active – both on and off-track. That makes the Air Mogan 6.0 an absolute favorite to the skaters, runners and those in a habit to turn to their wild side during the weekends. That’s potential and a lively energy delivered through performance-based lifestyles.

Nike 6.0 Air Mogan Men's Shoe

The Nike 6.0 Air Mogan comes in a vibrant color combo but at the same time is very easy on the eyes: Black and yellow with a sudden intrusion of white. That’s Suede into Nubuck and topped by leather; the midsole is full-length Phylon and together, they provide the cushioning that makes comfortably jumping around far more economical than those coming with a premium price tag. However, things wouldn’t have reached completion without the forefoot cup-sole; stitched to the outsole brings increased durability without any extra cost.

The outsole itself deserves being spoken about a thing or two. It is rubber, no doubt, but the tread pattern has been designed to provide a higher amount of traction to hold even on smooth marble smeared in oil. Now, who thought all that to be present under the shining cosmetics? Not the average shoe-wearer, at least; it’s the athletes that gave the Mogan 6.0 its recognition and access to the fashionmongers.

Though Nike now claims the Nike 6.0 Air Mogan to be no longer available, but this action sports workhorse initiated all the experiments with the skater-style technology. It is not only about the encapsulated Air-Sole unit absorbing colossal impacts or the special stitching style to hold things together forever but a collective effect of everything worthwhile falling into a place.

The color combo suits the hip-hop evenings as much as the skating competitions, more for the pillow-mimicking effect. However, putting them on for the first time is definitely going to contradict the statement, for they start real stiff and mellow down over a short time, conforming to the shape of your feet and providing an all-around support.

Nike 6.0 Shoes are the ultimate shoe for skateboarding, running, dancing and casual weekends, it is all the support you need to be the center of attraction, in action or in still. And lest someone steps on your toes accidentally, the leather upper reinforcement shall provide enough hardness to keep you capable of enjoying the good times and not regret about it later.

Review on Rob Dyrdek, DC Pro Skater

It stayed many a person’s preference to walk and skate in DC RD 1.5 Skate shoes.Rob Dyrdek shoes showcasing the skills and life of the pro-skater and star of MTV's Rob & Big. So this signature DC shoe was released showcasing some real heavy-duty features.

This superior DC Skate shoe starts with the suede, followed by a soft, action leather upper and together they bring in an optimum support not many shoes of this price range can bring; the materials also double-up the durability factor. As for the fit, it is a tongue padded with foam and a collar with soft tricot lining that turns it a comfortable one. The picture completes with internal, elastic tongue holders; the whole effect boiling down to additional foot stability. The rubber soul is abrasion resistant, meaning you will wear a spotless pair for many days. The rubber outsole’s pill pattern brings on an improved grip thus enhancing overall board control through an excellent ground contact, thanks to its ultimate flexing properties.

The build quality reveals the painstaking putting together of the components, right from the heel to the toes. Sewing is pronounced double stitched in the dc rd 1.5 shoe vocabulary and that’s several hundred times better than a single stitch and simple glue-ing. Not that glue is absent in the dc rd 1.5 skate shoe, but that’s when the double stiching needs to be concealed. The end result is an even wearing of all the components, maintaining parity. That’s what people seem to mean by aging gracefully. And that starts from the bottom parts i.e. either from the outer soles or from the pads receiving maximum friction from the heels. Unlike other skating shoes where the lace cuts into the holes, this one has metal rings that guard the top eight.

The two elastic straps hold the tongue in place ensuring the foot stays in place within preventing any sort of sprains resulting from a lack of balance; the centered position sets the equilibrium in quite a perfect manner.

Regarding the style and the fit, they are exclusively that of the skaters’ but the durability is enough to grant it a permanent place in the weekend wear list. The only problem is the whites turn dull and discolored pretty soon, but those willing for an used look would like that immensely. One more thing: This is a pair that will retain its shape long because of the perfectly centered tongues.

As far as the price goes, $35 is a meager price to pay for a long investment that will provide the same comfort as it would on day one.  The credit goes to the sumptuous amount of padding inside, also a big insurance against a board slapping against or when slipped from the ramp. That’s a big saving on the money you would have spent otherwise on the orthopedic or on the medicaments.

Nothing is “Mid”-eocre with the Osiris NYC 83 Mid

Nowadays, a lot of skateboarding shoes focus solely on looks and are beginning to leave out the important core elements that should be put into the design of every shoe made solely for the purpose of extreme sports. With Osiris, this is not a problem, especially in the case of the Osiris NYC 83 Mid shoe.

These particular sneakers are technically more advanced than most of their counterparts, such as DC, Adio, or C1RCA among many others, while still keeping the edgy design that is unique to Osiris. With the NYC 83 Mid, it is easy to see why so many favor Osiris in terms of sporting equipment.  The construct of the shoes is one that suits the wearer in terms of both comfort and style. Coming standard with a leather body and a synthetic upper, the NYC 83 Mid is the classic Osiris skateboarding shoe trademark. Comfort and impact protection have not been forgotten in the blueprint level of these shoes, with a heavily cushioned, removable insole and a grippy outsole formed from traction-inducive rubber that lets you skate for a long time before even starting to show signs of wear and tear.  The ankles of the wearer are ensured safety and support with just the correct amount of padding.

Technicality is not the only thing that the NYC 83 Mid sports, for it features its own unique design straight from the vaults of Osiris.  The extravagant color play out beautifully in the makeup of the NYC 83 Mid, and should probably be present in the closet of every fashion enthusiast.

This NYC inspired shoe promises to not disappoint, incorporating top quality specifications and designs that emphasize the uniqueness of both the street and vert wearer, or even the casual non-skater. And with the Osiris safety features that never let down owners, you would be hard-pressed to find a shoe even half as good as the NYC 83 Mid.
