DVS Shoes, originally known as DVS Shoe Company, is an American footwear and apparel brand that rose to prominence within the global skateboarding and extreme sports communities. Founded in 1995, the brand was established by professional skateboarder Tim Gavin and brothers Brian, Kevin, and Mike Dunlap in Torrance, California. The Core 2.0 is a staple of their technical footwear line, known for durability and support tailored to high-impact sports.
While the brand was born and designed in the United States, manufacturing is typically outsourced to international facilities in regions such as Southeast Asia to maintain competitive pricing and scale. Over the decades, DVS has undergone corporate shifts; after filing for bankruptcy in 2012, the brand was acquired by Sequential Brands Group. Today, it operates under the ownership of Centric Brands, a leading lifestyle brand collective, ensuring its continued presence in the global retail market.
