DC Shoes and Thrasher Magazine are teaming up for a collaboration that celebrates the 25th anniversary of pro skater Josh Kalis.

The capsule collection features apparel and co-branded shoes, including the new Kalynx Zero S and the Truth. The Kalynx is drawn from two of Kalis’ favorite DC shoes, the Kalis Lite and the Lynx Zero S, while the Truth remains a favorite style among fans of early 2000s skate shoes and this particular version features an original camo print. The designs on both products were inspired by Kalis’ 2018 cover of Thrasher, as well as his love for camo and Philadelphia, which is where he spent much of his youth.
In a press release, Tony Vitello, President of Thrasher Magazine, said, “I’m honored to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of his pro shoe. I remember getting a pair of his first signature kicks with DC when I was a teenager. I wore them to the SOTY party in SF with my dad and felt like the coolest dude on earth. 25 years later and I’m still hyped to lace up a shoe with his name on it. Big Love.”
