For DC Spring 2010 Nick Dompierre brings his relationship with one of the most respected hardgoods brands in the industry, Real Skateboards to DC. The collaboration, made up of footwear and apparel, marks the first time DC has collaborated with a board company.

The project features the REAL Crew shoe, which unites the two skate brands on one of DC’s top performance skateboarding shoes. The REAL Crew shoe is loaded with performance skate shoe technologies to include: gore tongue straps, soft terry lining, medial wall support, triple-stitched top caps, M-D performance insole, dual lasting board construction, Super Suede™, DGT™ (Dynamic Grip Technology) and standard skate wrap cup sole. Aesthetically, the REAL logo hit was added to the heel area of the shoe, in a black and red colorway.
