DVS Shoe Company
As of March 2011, Song had released twelve signature shoe models with the DVS Shoe Company, a brand that he has been involved with since its inception.
In a Twitter post on August 1, 2012, Song confirmed that a thirteenth signature shoe is scheduled with DVS. An image of the shoe (in a blue and yellow colorway) was uploaded by Song and appeared on his Instagram account, also on August 1, 2012.
A press release from the Sequential Brands Group, which acquired the shoe brand in mid-2012, revealed that Song had renewed his contract with the company for a further three years. The CEO of the licensing and branding company, Colin Dyne, explained in the press release that “It is critically important to us that the authenticity and integrity of the DVS brand remain in tact. By moving forward with Daewon, a legend in the skate arena, DVS is remaining true to its heritage”. Song stated in the same document that “DVS has been family since 1997 and has always had my back 100% and I will always have their’s, 100%!!! Re-signing wasn’t even a question! Just needed to make sure the damn pen worked!”.
On August 28, 2012, Song revealed in a Twitter post that he had commenced work on a new DVS project.

Famous quotes containing the words shoe and/or company:
“one is in a shoe factory cursing the machine,
one is at the aquarium tending a seal,
one is dull at the wheel of her Ford,
one is at the toll gate collecting,
one is tying the cord of a calf in Arizona,
one is straddling a cello in Russia....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind’s door at 4am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
