DC (CLOSED)

The extreme-sports clothing and footwear brand relocated from Spring to Mercer Street in Soho, occupying a bigger space with more street visibility. Though DC products can be found in sports and lifestyle stores across the country, Manhattan is home to the only East Coast retail location, where action-sports enthusiasts can nab a wide variety of men’s shoes and apparel and women’s kicks under one roof. DC, which is owned by Quiksilver, also sells the popular surf brand’s gear. The massive, modern raw space has multimedia LCD screens showcasing videos of DC garb. Pick up sporty wares, like men’s military-inspired hooded jackets ($98), women’s synthetic leather snowboard boots ($250), brightly colored hooded flannel shirts ($54) and Devun Walsh pro snowboards ($500).
