DC Life ‘Admiral Sport’
Earlier today we showed you the DC Life x Nash Money ‘Monterey’ and now we present to you a completely new design which DC Life which be debuting next year.
Taking their popular Admiral model DC Life will be introducing a newly redesigned version next year known as the Admiral Sport. The Admiral Sport is a revamped version of the original Admiral which has a somewhat lower cut on the upper compared to the original Admiral which leaves the tongue of the sneakers sitting higher then the ankle. Besides for the lower cut with the high tongue the Admiral Sport also features a newly added adjustable strap on the heel.
Watch for the DC Life ‘Admiral Sport’ to release during the Spring of 2010 and click here now to check out some pictures of a white and a black Admiral Sport.
DC Life x Nash Money ‘Monterey’
If you recall a couple weeks ago we gave you a preview of the DC Life x Nash Money collaboration part of the ongoing DC Double Label Project. Now thanks to our good friends over at DC we can provide you with a closer look at these very detailed sneakers.
Nash Cadwell, also known as Nash Money, a very talented artist from the UK unleashes his first collaborative effort ever. Using the DC Monterey as a base, Nash twisted, tore, and ripped the shoe apart, only to stitch it back together again with a multitude of fabrics and a custom crepe bottom. It’s Frankenstein meets mad scientist meets an old English gentleman.
Above all, it’s English wildfowler (duck hunter) meets mature street wear. The old English wildfowler aspect sees the use of luxury, hard-wearing fabrics, with the incorporation of earth tone colors. Paisley print was brought to the lining to add to the overall air of sophistication to Monterey.
The DC Life x Nash Money ‘Monterey’ is available now at DC stores in SoHo, Melrose (LA) and Las Vegas. Click here to check out more detailed pictures of the sneakers.
SBTG x DC Life – Circus of Mutants ‘The Fly’ Sneakers
Sneaker customizer SBTG, an artist who has been featured here on Sneaker Obsession more then a handful of times has teamed up with DC Life for what we believe to be part of the DC Life Artist Series Project in a series known as the Circus of Mutants. For the project SBTG and DC have designed a pair of sneakers as well as a few hats and apparel items. We’re gonna focus on the sneakers here for the most part, eventhough we will include the pictures of the hats as well.
The SBTG x DC Life sneakers feature a black and lime green colorway with signature SBTG details used throughout the upper. The tongue tag says Royalfam and Circus of Mutants ‘The Fly’ Edition leading us to believe this could possibly be one sneaker in a series of DC sneakers designed by SBTG. At this time we cant confirm that though, just speculation folks. The white sole unit has a repeating design of a fly along with the words Circus of Mutants.
We arent quite sure on an exact release date at this time but Hypebeast reports a release will come around the Spring of 2010. Stay tuned for further details and click here to check out more preview pictures of whats in the collection.
DC Life x Nash Money Preview
Here we have a preview of the latest offering from the DC Double Label Project presented by the DC Life, the lifestyle division of DC Shoes. The preview doesnt offer much in terms of what the sneaker will look like, but it does indeed inform us who DC Life has collaborated with, Nash Money who hails from the UK. The image of the sneaker itself has been blown out to avoid us from seeing to much to soon but what from we can see the sneakers appear to have a mid cut design with what looks to be a visible air unit taking up 3/4ths of the mid-sole.
The official release of the DC Life x Nash Money DC Double Label Project is set for August 31st, 2009. Stay tuned for further details and more images of the sneakers.

Now thanks to Premier we have a few more images of the sneakers showing us some different angles which reveal details we were unable to make out before. The upper is constructed from green and black and accented with subtle hits of red and what. On the heel of the left sneaker it says Jeru and on the heel of the right sneaker it says Damaja, both in red. The insoles include the face of a cartoon character and the bottom of the insoles carry a orange/white polka dot design.
