DC Shoes Miami Ink Womens Size 6 Grapes of Wrath Manteca 2009 Skate Sneakers

Tattoo artist Darren Brass from Miami Ink teamed up with DC Shoes to create seven unique collaborations for its Spring 2009 collection. The artist, skateboarder and self-proclaimed sneakerhead developed two men’s and two women’s shoes, two hoodies and a New Era cap incorporating his tattoo and graffiti inspired art for the DC Collection. Growing up outside of New York, Brass spent his time with skateboarding and graffiti throughout the city streets. He parlayed these early influences directly in to his DC project. To create his two women’s DC shoes, Brass mixed his art with dynamic material and colors. His “Grapes of Wrath” shoe mixes his custom grape illustrations with cork overlays and purple suede paneling and sole on DC’s popular mid top Manteca model.
