The Admiral’s navy Imperial leather upper is inspired by a quintessential road trip imagery–the vintage blue luggage which accompanies travelers on their hitch rides. Aside from the colorway, the Western Americana influence also presents itself in forms of indigenous prints and patterns infused by the natives. The print, Indigenous Moder, used on the satin lining of the Admiral was created by graphic design firm, National Forest. Other details going into these road trip worthy kicks include DC’s custom Allen Key Head eyelets, a soft latex foot bed with EVA insert cup sole and sticky rubber outsole bottom featuring DC’s trademark Pill Pattern for additional abrasion resistance. Check out the shoes and a shot from DC Life’s Spring 2010 lookbook featuring the said vintage navy luggage. No doubt this is another great worthy addition to the family of navy colored kicks. The Admiral in Maritime is now available online at DC Shoes for those who are feeling the Americana blues.
