Product Information

Full details

The DC Shoes Court Graffik is designed for adult males seeking a classic, robust skate shoe. Its key benefit is the combination of durable materials and supportive padding for comfort and performance, both on and off the skateboard. A potential caveat is its distinctly chunky silhouette, which may not appeal to those preferring minimalist footwear. Key features include a nubuck and suede upper with leather overlays, padded tongue and ankle collars, and a grippy rubber outsole with a pill pattern tread.

FAQs

What materials are the DC Shoes Court Graffik made from?

The upper is constructed from nubuck and suede with tonal leather overlays. The outsole is made of rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Court Graffik is designed with skate-specific features like a durable cupsole and grippy outsole, making them suitable for regular skateboarding. However, professional skaters often have specific preferences for board feel and flexibility.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush or a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Always allow to air dry.

What does 'chunky cupsole' mean?

A cupsole is a shoe construction where the upper is stitched to a rubber sole that wraps up the sides of the shoe, resembling a cup. 'Chunky' refers to the thicker, more substantial profile of this sole design, common in skate shoes for durability and cushioning.

What is the pill pattern grip on the outsole?

The pill pattern is a specific tread design on the rubber outsole, characterized by rounded, pill-shaped lugs. This pattern is engineered to provide enhanced traction and grip on various surfaces, including skateboard decks.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the leather and suede and affect the shoe's structure. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.

What is the MPN for this specific model?

The Model Number (MPN) for this particular variant is EDYS100014-002.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially or try wearing the shoes for short periods. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the specific material (leather/suede) needs a brief break-in period.

Reduced grip on the sole

Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and water to remove accumulated dirt and debris that might be hindering traction.

Stains on suede or leather

For suede, use a dedicated suede eraser or brush. For leather, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed laces with new ones. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent undue stress.
