You guys humor me, DC is owned by nike. Osiris was named 'mall rat company of the year' by thrasher, and Erik Kosten is a homo that does shows for mtv and makes shitty shoes that rip after a couple weeks of skating (ES'). This is all after the fact that these companys' shoes are big poofy ghetto stompers that are virtually impossible to skate in. You might as well go get a basketball jersey and hang out with tanner hall after you buy shoes from one of those companies...you'll fit in.
