For 2021, DC honors the legacy of Jean-Michel Basquiat with a collection featuring paintings from the artist's most prolific year. During the 1981-82 period, when Basquiat was just 21 years old, he engaged in a flurry of productivity, creating some of his most transformative work and staking his place in both the art world and our culture at large. As a brand rooted in skateboarding and streetwear, DC’s collision of 90’s East Coast style and West Coast creativity aligns naturally with Jean-Michel Basquiat’s voice and vision. We invite you to take a gallery walk through the carefully crafted DC x Basquiat collab - available online at Journeys.com!
DC X BASQUIAT MANUAL HI - MULTICOLOR
The Basquiat Manual Hi is the standout style from the Basquiat X DC Collection. It’s an exclusive offering that features 21 different pieces of Basquiat art placed across the 21 different panels on the shoe. But, perhaps the most impressive thing about this shoe is that Basquiat produced all 21 pieces of art when he was just 21 years old. This one really is a show stopper.
