First Look: DC Teases New Blacked-Out Colorway of Josh Kalis’ Ascend
When I think of Josh Kalis, I think of a handful of things. LOVE Park, for one. The good old Alien days, for another. 360 flips, of course. Baggy denim? Sure, yep. And since we’re here—DC Shoes.
Kalis hopped on Instagram recently teasing a new colorway of his latest DC signature shoe, the Ascend, in all-black and at first glance, these things look super sleek.
The caption simply said: Sheesh. All black. Ascend. And I'd say the "Sheesh" itself says more than enough. DC posted the shoes as well but I didn't see them on the site, so I don't know what's going on there. But if I were you, I'd just keep your eyes peeled.

Admittedly, my style has changed many times over the years, but I’d be lying if I said I haven’t always been a little envious of the skaters who can rock kicks like this and naturally pull them off—let alone rip in them!
Anyways, on the board, Kalis is still bringing the heat these days. His 360 flips are timeless. His private indoor plaza with the LOVE granite is a thing of beauty. And that spark for skateboarding that got him here in the first place continues to shine bright.
In fact, he just celebrated 30 years as a pro skateboarder. That's heavy!
Again, no official drop info has been released from Kalis or DC, but something tells me these will be out in the wild soon. Congrats on three decades of stoke, Josh. Keep it going.
