Sneakers Hongo x Metric GREY/BLUE/YELLOW (xsby) | DC Shoes USA
DESIGNED FOR SKATEBOARDING, OUR SUPER SUEDE TECHNOLOGY LASTS TWICE AS LONG.
Hailing from Yokosuka, Japan, Shintaro and Masaki Hongo are quickly making a name for themselves around the globe. When they’re not churning out footage at an alarming rate, they’re helping us design custom colorways of the all-new Metric S — one of the most technical skate shoes we’ve ever made and a new favorite of the Hongo Brothers. With their family crest on the heel and artwork by Shintaro on the tongue, we’re proud to keep it in the family on this limited colorway.
The Metric S is the new standard in skate performance from DC. Designed with input from the pro team and implementing some truly game-changing tech, it’s the next step in our long history of designing performance-focused skate shoes. The Metric’s cupsole uses some of our most advanced skate tech ever. The brand new IMPACT-FOAM midsole combines with an EVA strobel board and IMPACT-ALG insoles to provide unmatched impact protection and comfort without diminishing board feel. We also used our new 20% recycled RE/GRIP RUBBER for a lighter outsole that’s just as durable as normal rubber. The upper is designed with pure skate performance in mind with breathable, high-abrasion mesh panels that stand up to griptape while still allowing airflow to the feet. And to make it last even longer, the Metric is constructed with SUPER STITCH threads and hot melt TPU overlays. Every last detail of this shoe was designed for and by skateboarders… So when we say that the Metric S is 1000X More Skateable, we mean it.
