Notable Features
Found in several areas of the DC men's Cure is a bold and welded DC official logo. The one placed at the top of the tongue area is particularly visible while a less conspicuous one is placed at the lateral side of the cleat.
Additionally, the lace guard found in the tongue area creates more stability whether one is going for an intense skateboarding sesh or just a leisurely romp in the streets.
A cupsole construction has been used in this model’s design. This setup, while generally more hard feeling with less of board feel, also promotes more foot and ankle support for the wearer.
Furthermore, a grippy rubber outsole is featured paired with an abrasion-resistant feature is incorporated into the men's DC Cure skate shoes. This combination affords the wearer durability, even lasting for several years.
History of the DC Cure
Evidently, DC has expanded and has come a long way since their Droors Clothing days. Partnering with a slew of artists and athletes, the brand has since exploded into the scene and has effectively taken root into the mainstream culture.
With their sneaker aspect getting established in 1993, the brand has since come up with some of the most revolutionary footwear designs. Perhaps the one that has singularly gripped the market during that era was the Lynx by the brand’s footwear designer Sung Choi.
With more collaborations, the brand has come up with some of the most innovative footwear designs in the market. They still are growing today.
In more recent releases, however, the brand has not forgotten their roots either. Coming up with designs that pay homage to more classic silhouettes, the DC Cure shoes for men is definitely one of those designs.
