DCHeritage
Re-Issues

Introducing the DC Heritage Collection. It's our duty to reissue some of DC's most iconic styles - focusing on informing a new generation of skateboarders on the golden era of skate footwear.

Introduced in 1998
THELYNX
A team favorite, a fan favorite and one of the most classic of the original of the LYNX OG colorways from 1998. We are excited to bring you the LYNX OG Tactical Black. Roll back the clock with one of the most requested LYNX OG colorways to date.

Join as we meet with Sung Choi the original designer of the Lynx. He covers inspiration behind the design and why this shoe remains such a sought after and classic piece of the DC catalog.
Sung Choi
TheLynx
“The Lynx was my first shoe from top to bottom.”
“At that time a lot of kids were really into this idea of having skate shoes and chill shoes and I sort of wanted to bridge the gap.”
“I just wanted to make sure I provided the right footwear for what they do.”
Introduced in 1998
THELYNX
This limited offering of THE LYNX had us digging deep in our vast archives. Back in 1998 a handful of pairs were made exclusively in this colorway for the DC team to test the LYNX while the shoe was still in the development stages. The following year a similar colorway made it into production and became an instant classic. Thanks to much of Josh Kalis’ Transworld Sixth Sense video part being filmed around this time, this rider colorway attained Holy Grail status and had people scratching their heads asking “But what are those?!”

Now you can check that 20 year old bucket list and wear the colorway that was never was.

“IT’S REALLY RAD TO BE TIED INTO SOMETHING THAT’S SO INFLUENTIAL AT DC AND SO ICONIC IN SKATEBOARDING.”
Josh Kalis, Noseblunt Side - Photo: Ryan Gee - 1998
"WHEN I WAS SHOOTING MY SIXTH SENSE PART DC SENT ME A LYNX COLORWAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS THIS HUGE DEMAND FOR THAT SPECIFIC COLORWAY."
Josh Kalis, Nollie Flip - Photo: Ryan Gee - 1998
“MY FIRST DC AD WAS WITH THE LYNX, I ROCKED THE LYNX SO MUCH, IN SO MANY DIFFERENT VIDEOS, PEOPLE STARTED THINKING THAT THE LYNX WAS MY PRO SHOE.”
Introduced in 1998
THELYNX
A DC team favorite and industry staple since the late 90s. The Lynx was synonymous with DC Shoes team riders such as Josh Kalis and Brian Wenning before they both attained pro model status. The Lynx quickly became the go to shoe in skateboarding during the turn of the decade.

2018 is the 20th anniversary of the Lynx.

One place (trip, trick or event) that stands out in your mind that you experienced in The Lynx and why that time is significant to you?

Switch Backside 180 down the Love gap. Transworld Skateboarding cover in my Navy /Baby Blue sample Lynx , photo by Ryan Gee ... I made the vision of doing it happen from off a curb then to the Love gap .. which is crazy ...and Gee made the photo so dope from the top of the Love Park sign, so that day was phenomenal...
Your biggest life change since the first release?

There been too many to put down man, so I'd say ... best feeling in them was either Switch Backside Smith, DWP hubba Miami and Switch Back 180 Love Park fountain those two for sure felt amazing.
Video parts you filmed with them?

Alien Workshop - Photosynthesis, The DC Video, Transworld Skateboarding - Subtleties.
Introduced in 1994
THEDW1
The Danny Way signature model was the very first DC Shoe to hit the market back in 1994. Its impact was immediate and shifted the way people thought about skateboarding footwear.

Almost 25 years after the original release, we pay homage to its legacy by reissuing a limited quantity at select retailers worldwide.

TheDW1
"This is my first pro model shoe ever and the first DC Shoe ever."
"I always believed that DC was built on innovation, taking risks and leading with that mentality of innovation and progression into athletic skateboard footwear."
"This shoe was definitely, in that era, something that I used on everything."
