DVS is Back: A Rad Comeback for Classic Skate Shoes

Hey, fellow shredders! So, I just caught wind of some seriously rad news in the skate world: DVS is making a comeback! If you’re like me and spent your early years glued to skate videos, you probably remember DVS as one of the iconic brands that shaped our skate culture back in the mid-2000s. With their legendary team of skaters like Jason Dill and Daewon Song, they totally crushed it with their 2005 video, Skate More. But, like many things in life, they kind of faded into the background. Until now!

It seems like skateboarding is in a funky place right now, and DVS is ready to jump back in with a vengeance. They’ve brought on board Lee Berman, a skater who helped build the Converse CONS skate program, and he’s stoked about DVS’s future. He’s got this vision that, just like music, there’s always room for fresh vibes in skateboarding, even if the market feels a little “cooked.” DVS is all about quality, style, and connecting with the grassroots of our culture, and I’m here for it!

One of the coolest things about DVS’s return is their approach to working with skate shops. They’re not about making huge demands or commitments—if a shop wants to order just eight pairs of shoes, they can totally do that. This grassroots strategy is what’s really going to help them gain traction among shops and skaters alike. It’s all about keeping it simple and focused, you know?

And guess what? They’re also bringing back Kerry Getz, a legend in his own right! People have been reminiscing about his classic shoe, and DVS is ready to make it happen again, just as we remember it. It’s like they’re tapping into that wave of nostalgia while also aiming to create something fresh and relevant. Can you say “epic”? I can totally see skaters gravitating toward these shoes, not just for their history, but for that rad vibe they bring.

In a world where big brands are shouting over each other, DVS is here to remind us all that the heart of skateboarding lies in community and authenticity. I’m pretty hyped to see how this all plays out as they start rolling out new products and signing fresh riders. If they can deliver quality and stay true to their roots, we might just witness a gnarly resurgence of this classic brand. So, keep your eyes peeled, because DVS is back and ready to ride!
