When hip-hop style collides with skateboarding style, a big bang of culture and style gives birth to the DGK3 brand, which stands for "DIRTY GHETTO KIDS". This is by far the most hip-hop skateboarding company concocted by Stevie Williams, the most stylish Afro skateboarder with his legendary pop, who still rides the streets of Philadelphia as he did at the legendary "Love Park" spot, with his long-time mate Josh Kalis.
The brand became a symbol for many kids who had dreams in their eyes when they watched Stevie Williams on skateboard video footage. Having squatted with many skateboarders from various hotspots in the city and suburbs of Philadelphia, the DGK brand has its roots in the heart of urban culture.
Stevie has propelled the brand's message even beyond the boundaries of skateboarding, since the lines of sapes with their broad Streetwear inspiration and Skateboard look are proudly worn by personalities such as rapper 2Chainz and Stevie Williams' close friend Ludacris. The brand of the "Kayo Corps" group (Expedition One, Organika, Gold wheels...) has repeatedly earned the title of best Skateboard label of the year, awarded by the famous Transworld Skateboarding magazine.
To make a skateboard brand like DGK shine, it was necessary to ensure high-class visivity by counting on a team of skateboarders in perfect harmony with DGK Skateboards' roots, and that's how guys like Brazilian Rodrigo TX, introduced to the team in 2011 to reinforce the brand's international image, took their place alongside guys like Boo Johnson, Marquise Henry and Dane Vaugh.
In terms of filmography, the Blood Money video in Film form was a killer! And the latest one, featuring the team's rookies and historic stars in "Public Advisory", has been just as well received in the skateboarding world.
DGK boards are as rough as the hip-hop of the American East Coast, and guarantee you big concave and pop to string together your best line Tricks on the curbs of your favorite cities. To satisfy the biggest fans of the brand and its ideology, Hawaiisurf offers you the DGK skateboards collections all year round, from skateboarding gear to a wide selection of streetwear and skateboard looks!
Dirty Ghetto Kids can now be found in the Hawaiisurf Skateboard Shop in Paris and on the web.
