DC Shoes is an American based footwear company who specializes in producing footwear for extreme sports, including skateboarding, snowboarding, BMX, motocross and rally car racing. They are highly regarded as one of the most well made shoes in all of the above industries, and have evolved into a multibillion dollar corporation. The company was founded in 1993 by Ken Block and Damon Way, and is based in Vista, California. DC originally stood for 'Droors City Footwear', but since the sale of Droors (which is now defunct), DC no longer has ties to Droors and is simply DC Shoes.
Today DC stands as a global brand whose product line has expanded to include men’s, women’s and kids’ skateboarding and lifestyle shoes, apparel, snowboard boots, outerwear, and accessories. The company also produces accessories for Apple Computer products: mostly protective cases for the iPod and Powerbook in designs matching their shoes.
