If you’ve shopped DC Shoes’ Black Friday sale before, you probably already know it’s one of the better times of the year to grab skate shoes, apparel, and accessories at a pretty decent price. Based on what we saw last year, here’s what you can expect to see this year.
Expected Black Friday Sale Dates for 2025
While the brand hasn’t officially released their 2025 Black Friday sale details yet, if they follow the same timeline as last year, we can make a pretty educated guess.
Last year, DC Shoes kicked off their Black Friday event the day before Thanksgiving and ran it through the Sunday after, exclusively at dcshoes.com. For 2025, that would likely mean the sale starts on Wednesday, November 26, and ends on Sunday, November 30, 2025.
Immediately after that, expect a Cyber Monday sale to go live on Monday, December 1, possibly running through Tuesday, December 2, 2025, based on last year’s two-day format.
What Was on Sale Last Year
In 2024, DC Shoes offered 30% off sitewide during the Black Friday sale, and the promo code used was FRIDAY30. It was pretty straightforward—no complicated hoops to jump through. That 30% discount applied across most of their inventory, but it’s worth noting that not every item qualified. Items that were excluded were clearly marked, and the fine print mentioned the usual caveats: previous purchases didn’t qualify, and the offer couldn’t be stacked with other promotions on the same product.
Then, for Cyber Monday, they actually sweetened the deal a little bit. Instead of a blanket sitewide discount, they went with a tiered promo: 30% off one style of your choice, or 40% off two styles of your choice using the promo code CYBERSAVE. Again, there were some exclusions, and eligible styles were marked.
What to Look For: Product Categories That Usually Go on Sale
If you’re wondering what you’ll actually find discounted, here’s a general breakdown of what was part of last year’s sale—and what we’ll likely see again.
1. Skate Shoes and Sneakers
This is where DC really shines. Most of their core skate shoes were part of the 30% off sale last year. That included styles like:
-
Court Graffik
-
Pure
-
Lynx Zero
-
Kalis Vulc
These were popular items and, for the most part, not excluded from the promo code. If you’ve been eyeing a new pair, this is likely your best time to grab them.
2. Apparel
The 30% off extended to a wide selection of clothing, too. Hoodies, graphic tees, joggers, and jackets were all in the mix. A few examples from last year:
-
DC Star Hoodie
-
DC Shoes x Star Wars Tees (some of the collab items were excluded, though)
-
Heavyweight Flannels
-
Windbreakers and Bomber Jackets
Again, exclusions applied mostly to newer drops or special collaborations.
3. Accessories
Hats, beanies, backpacks, and socks were generally included in the sale. DC’s skate-focused gear like grip tape and caps also showed up with the discount last time. These make for solid stocking stuffers or small upgrades if you’re already in the market.
Items That Were Probably Excluded Last Year (and Could Be Again)
As with any big sale, not everything makes the cut. Here’s what was mostly excluded from last year’s offers—and might be again in 2025:
-
New arrivals launched right before Black Friday
-
Limited edition collaborations (like special artist or pop culture collections)
-
Gift cards
-
Items already deeply discounted (sometimes they’re considered “final sale” and excluded from further promos)
It’s not a huge dealbreaker, but worth remembering if you’ve got your eye on a specific collab item. It may not be part of the Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal.
