After unveiling a series of collaborations early in 2010, DC Shoes has been relatively quiet for the rest of this year. If they were putting in work, it surely paid off, as a new silhouette from the DC Life collection is one of the nicest lifestyle sneakers we’ve seen all year. The new DC Shoes Cadet Chukka combines the familiar eye plackets you’d find on any good chukka with a plimsoll-like toe on a two-tone design to capture pretty much everything that’s hot right now with casual sneakers. There’s also a similarly hewn Sector 7 TXSE lowtop, and both should hit select DC Life retailers shortly. via HS
