DC Shoes Presents Waiting for Lightning: Danny Way Documentary

DC Shoes gave us a glimpse into the new documentary of Danny Way when they compiled the Rediscover Dreams campaign. Jacob Rosenberg directed this powerful documentary, Waiting for Lightning, looking at the life of the legendary skateboarder. Though often overshadowed by his success, his childhood was less than ideal. Way overcame many obstacles physically and mentally to get to where he is today. The film is showing at various locations around the world and more information of the screening can be found on their website. Whether you are a fan of Way, fan of skateboarding, or just looking for an incredible story, this film should captivate your senses. Find out more about the film in the trailer after the jump.

The French National Team has always approach the game of soccer somewhat differently, with the team’s tenacity drawn from individual player’s strong personality. In ways, the team’s new Home Kit bears some similarities. With tagline "Nos Differences Nous Unissent" ("Our Differences Unite Us") running on a thin red ribbon, the Home Kit celebrates not only France’s diversity but individualism as well. A part of the Nike Pro Combat System, players can easily customize their needs on the pitch simply by including the full range of peripherals like Pro Combat Hypercool 2.0 top or Pro Combat Hyperstrong shorts.

On the sleeves, hexagon imprint with three separate facets in gold reflect the French Republic’s tricolour. An additional gold piping along the collar takes reference once again to French military uniform. Along with matching shorts, each kit is the product of 13 recycled plastic bottles.
