DC Shoes Kalis Shoes. Originally released over 20 years ago, Josh Kalis was highly involved in the design of his first pro model. That attention to detail and focus on technical design clearly paid off, as the Kalis OG remains one of DC's most loved skate shoes. It continues to breathe fresh air into the skate shoe game and remains a favorite among skaters who want something with a little extra puffiness and durability. The Kalis, like the man himself, continues to inspire a new generation of skaters. Nubuck upper. Bootie construction for secure fit. Molded TPR logo. Mesh lining. OrthoLite® footbed.
