DC Shoes Co. x Manteca 4

Been on a DC Shoes habit this past year since Switch Skate and Snow has placed them on the clearance racks. Had to give the Manteca 4 reissues a try. They fit true to size and feature Super Suede. Although they have the aesthetic of the original Manteca from the early 2000s, they are slimmer and lighter.



The outsole is not as strong as the original model, expect better boardfeel, but weaker construction and harder impact on surfaces.

The skater I associate this shoe with is Ryan Gallant who wore it in most of his video parts and even designed his pro model based on the original Manteca shoe.
