Jahmir Brown's repping the new DC Lukoda Suede Sneakers

Born and raised in southwest Philadelphia, JAHMIR BROWN's powerful style is so reminiscent of the early 2000s it's nostalgic to watch.

He's clearly influenced by the golden era of skateboarding, and some may even call him the Stevie Williams 2.0, cause some of his tricks have an uncanny resemblance to Stevie's style.

And if you think that, in addition to the skills on the wheels, having a dope style is also relevant when we're talking about skateboarding, Jahmir Brown doesn't disappoint either.

Now, after years of dedication and an unquestionable co-sign from Kalis, DC proudly brought Philadelphian Jahmir Brown to the team. His skating blends a classic street character with new-era tech advances, which we can see in abundance in the Philly clips shown in the DC Part YT video.

Introduced originally in the spring of 1999, the Lukoda sneakers quickly became a staple amongst the East Coast skate community.

Thanks to DC's high-strength leather and super suede, the upper is super sturdy; while the mesh panels make this shoe breathable and lightweight.
