Started by Stevie Williams, DGK is a tribute his humble roots. The acronym which stands for Dirty Ghetto Kids was what other skaters at Philadelphia's Love Park called Stevie and his crew because they were from the wrong side of the tracks. They took the name and branded themselves with it, not knowing that one day Stevie would turn it into a global line available everywhere from the most core skate shops to the most elite boutiques. It represents turning a negative into a positive and making something out of nothing against all odds. DGK's graphics and apparel make bold statements which differentiates the brand from everything else out there, which is why it's developed a cult following both in and out of skateboarding.
The first pair of skate shoes I ever bought were the Stevie Williams DC’s I remember it came with a card like a baseball card and I remember putting it in a protective case lol best shoes ever style and skate wise I always looked up to Stevie with buttery switch pop shuvs and hard flip nose grind and Josh kalis and Stevie were so inspirational to me you can tell the were true friends and skate rats like me I am so happy DGK is doing great it’s such a rad company I’m proud of everyone involved and I’m a huge fan thanks for years of true joy
I remember when I was a teenager I could do my pop shove it like this everyone would freak out at the skatepark lord forbid if I'd try thow one down a flight of stairs
