Pop Trading Company x DC Navigator Shoes

Pop Trading Company x DC Navigator Shoes in Black and Green. Released as part of a collaborative capsule range of two reworked archival footwear styles created between Amsterdam based Pop Trading Company and DC Shoes, a fresh approach has been introduced to this model with a water resistant finish and modern performance features. Constructed from a combination of premium hairy suede treated with a water resistant finish, a Sympatex booty lining and molded TPU features, this boot has a distinctive hiking inspired look and offers a high level of comfort and support. The classic lacing system incorporates a traditional boot lacing system commonly found on outdoor orientated styles with durable patterned laces and a centralised panel that helps to keep them in place, whilst across the top statement lettering brings attention to the collaboration with a rubberised DC Shoes logo above. The gusseted tongue is padded for comfort with a pull tab that aids entry that works in harmony with an additional tab on the back of the heel where debossed DC Shoes branding and patterned rubber add a durable finish to a common abrasion point. Throughout the inside of the Pop Trading Company x DC Navigator, the fabric lining increases comfort further and a foil strobel adds focused warmth at a key area. Completing the design as one of the main assets of the shoe, the heavy duty rubber outsole is layered for a statement look with further branding across the grip-focused tread.

Building upon the ‘90s nostalgia that is continually intertwined within Pop Trading Company releases, the collaborative footwear range created between the Amsterdam based skate brand and the iconic DC Shoes brings attention to an era that was responsible for many pioneering footwear styles, apparel and skateboarding content. Looking directly to the DC Shoes archive, reinterpretations of the DC Lynx and Navigator Boot have been recreated and pay homage to the original designs which influenced a whole generation of skateboarders.
