Mike has been asked to design shoes for DC Shoe USA on several occasions, the first being in 2004 when he was asked to redesign their “Clientele” shoe for their Remix range.

Mike designed the shoe box and a booklet of Mike’s art was also included. The shoe was made in 2 shapes, named Pride and Xander.
