Mike Shinoda and DC Shoes have had a productive ongoing collaboration for a couple of years now.  From kicks that benefitted his alma mater to all the other Shinoda Remix joints, we’ve gotten to see what the musician has to offer in terms of sneaker design.  With this DC Xander, the Linkin Park co-frontman chose a mix of leathers and nylon, all in black, to serve as the base for some white and blue contrast hits.  You can find MS and SURU detailing all over the shoe and its 500 pairs will release exclusively at the LA-based retailer between November 20th and December 20th of this year.  SURU is doing a pre-sale for online orders only, right now.  Stick with Sneaker News for updates.

DC LIFE is coming at you this holiday season with a pack that matches the range of driving conditions you might experience with winter weather approaching.  Dubbed ‘Hi-Visibility or Lo-Visibility’, this split matches the duo of twosomes (of pairs!) of Admiral TX and Xander TX hightops.  The Hi-Visibility joints are the same kind of flourescent lime you’d see at modern traffic signals while their blacked out cousins pick up just a touch of pink from their sockliners.  Expect all four pairs at select DC retailers soon.

Despite having drastically different names, the DC Shoes Admiral hightop and Sector 7 lowtops look pretty similar.  They share a toebox, sole and basic profile, and frequently show up in the same colour.  This time, they’re paired in a collaboration with Michael ‘PMKFA’ Thornsby for France’s Sixpack.  Both kicks go with a smooth mix of micro-perforated and dimpled grey leather.  The Admiral has a tonal sole, while the Sector 7 opts for a translucent purple sole that steals the show.  Expect these to drop along with a few tees and New Era fitted caps at DC LIFE retailers soon.

A couple of years ago at the height of ‘Bling’, these might have gotten you kidnapped.  As it stands, all-chrome treatments have emerged in luxury markets, but the above pictured kicks might not be quite enough to spark violence.  We’re not taking anything away from the DC Shoes Admiral Sport, which is sufficiently shiny that narcissists and funhouse enthusiasts might be stuck following you around, staring at your every step.  Just a little bit of red along with a woven ankle strap bring these back down to Earth, but you can be sure that people will be calling these your ’space boots’.  They’ll drop on New Year’s Day 2010 at DC LIFE retailers.

Lemar and Dauley’s double shot of DC Shoes Xanders earlier this year relied on a tennis theme, but this latest pair really looks the part.  Sure, the earlier edition featured clean suede and racquet-like netting, but this in-house effort from DC instantly evokes tennis with its neon yellow/green woven nylon upper.  The netting is still on this pair too, doubling the on-court vibe.  Silver touches and just a tiny taste of orange finish these out quite nicely.

Most of SBTG’s work of late has consisted of denim custom Nike Dunks.  With this new sneaker and cap from DC Life, they’re crossing the line back into official collaboration territory.  The hightops are all black and distinctly different from recent SBTG releases.  They go with a perforated leather overlay framing a squiggly side panel.  ‘Circus de Mutants’ on the vulcanized midsoles looks like Nike Match Classic from earlier this year with Fragment Design and Undercover insignias.  We’ll keep you updated on more release info for these and the accompanying five panel cap.  via HB
