DVS is proud to announce its Photographer Series collection has been nominated for "Footwear Product of the Year" by the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA).

About The Photographer Series

DVS in collaboration with five of the most respected skateboard photographers in the industry, teamed up to develop a collection of shoes: The Photographer Series. The Fall 2006 series included Giovanni Reda, Ben Colen, Gabe Morford, Mike O'Meally and Atiba Jefferson. Each of the five photographers hand selected an existing DVS shoe style. They worked closely with DVS footwear and graphics teams to create a customized look by changing colors, materials and labels. The shoes came in special boxes embellished with photos from the respective photographer and came with a collector's postcard series that included the work and bio for each of the photographers. Look for the next Photographer Series collection in Spring 2007.
