DC Shoes makes skate and snow footwear, apparel and snowboard boots, founded in 1994 by Ken Block and Damon Way with early pro models for Danny Way and Colin McKay. Cupsole silhouettes such as the Lynx, Court Graffik and Josh Kalis line remain core, alongside a rally-racing legacy tied to Block's Gymkhana videos. Authentic Brands Group completed its purchase of parent Boardriders in September 2023; licensee Liberated Brands filed for Chapter 11 in February 2025, after which Authentic moved operations to new partners.
