I was in Europe earlier this year and one the things on my list was a pair of black hi-tops. I shopped quite a bit for them and didn't find exactly what I wanted, especially when forking out in Euros, so I didn't get anything in the shoe department. So I was pleasantly surprised to come home and a few months later to find these. It's a really awesome limited edition collection from DC in collaboration with Skullcandy.
The DC Spartan Hi-top sneakers are at the top end of the DC fashion collection, are functional and super comfy and come with a pair of the famous Skullcandy smokin buds as part of the packaging. The smokin buds come in a nifty little round soft-case and the wiring is cleverly encased in a DC shoelace.
- and I'm a fan of the DC brand too, having a few pairs in the closet already, so I was double stoked. I've worn this pair flat out since getting them - from post surf cruising around town, to the jol and and I'm a huge fan.
The thing I love about this collection though is the attention to detail in the make up of the shoe. The collaborative design sports the DC and Skullcandy logos embroidered in with a fine gold thread - so it's finished elegantly and is subtle enough to be cool, but is definitely gonna catch the eye.
The Skullcandy smokin-buds are also very cool. I've got a pair of Skullcandy fix-in ear buds already which I use when I'm editing clips and listening to my ipod on the go. These smokin buds are super comfy in the ear and produce great sound quiality, so it's an awesome value add to go with the Hi-tops.
Two of the coolest brand teaming up together to do something like this is a win in my book. This limited edition collection is gonna sell out fast - but we have secured a special limited number available for BOMBsurf fans in various sizes in theBOMBsurf Online Store - so if you have sneaker-lust and don't want to miss out - click here and purchase a pair now.
