When your nickname is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time), you need a shoe that represents; and the DC signature shoe for motocross legend Ricky Carmichael does just that.

Design: Ricky Carmichael’s signature shoe, the A-250 SN RC, was designed for both action sports performance and eye-catching style—style that works with any type of attire. Lightweight fabrics and DC’s trademark pill pattern sole make the A-250 great for riding boards, bikes or anything else you’re trying to jump and flip. Black and white contrast and a bright red sole will definitely garner glances from envious riders, and these kicks work well with jeans, cargos or shorts.

Feel: The foam padded tongue and lightweight midsole help to cushion blows when landing hard. It feels like you’re wearing pillows on your feet. The A-250 is ideal for riding hard, just like Ricky Carmichael does on a daily basis. Or, you can sport them while relaxing with your crew, since the shoe is adaptable and comfortable in any situation.

STACK’s Take: After rocking a pair of these kicks, a STACK team member concluded that the A-250s are perfect. Definitely comfortable—and they look good for casual wear in the office as well as social outings after hours.
