Sneaker News Los Angeles-based FTP is leading a new generation of unapologetic, no-holds-barred streetwear. Their bold designs and rebellious aesthetic have garnered them an avid — and youthful — fanbase, quite possibly the most loyal in the world of street culture today. Now they’re collaborating with DC Shoes — a brand that boasts rich roots in LA’s skate culture — on both new and classic silhouettes: the E Tribeka and the Syntax. The E. Tribeka arrives in both a black/grey and a stark white, both boasting a premium leather upper and all-over FTP logo hits on the mudguard and collar, plus an icy sole for extra premium flair. The Syntax presents a chunky retro look and arrives in a trio of colors — white/sail, black/purple/teal, and purple/red black — all of which feature a large OG DC logo on the lateral quarter panel and special FTP branding on the heel. All five shoes provide more than just good looks too — they’re skate shoes after all, so they’re not lacking in performance features. Both call upon a board-ready cupsole and reinforcements around key wear areas so they’ll hold up session after session. Check out all five pairs here, and get ready for their release September 22nd in conjunction with a special pop-up in Los Angeles.
