Sometimes the gear gods are not kind. Check out the original leather from the DC Dyrdek Collection. Super buttery, ill cut, printed lining and with the sickest rainbow skittle zips, this baby was originally set to retail for more that $600. That’s Dyrdek’s clout for you. They even made four custom colored ones for his Street Dreams premieres. Unfortunately, realistic sales forecasting prevailed and the jacket was re-formulated for it’s actual release. The cut is still good, but the leather has been downgraded and gone are those precious precious zips. Bummer. More looks at the last one on earth after the jump.

Someone must really love this Gymkhana thing, cause it keeps going longer than the energy bunny. Next up is version 2.1. This one is pretty funny though, with Rob Dyrdek getting in on the action in his exact replica mini-Gymkhana whip and further proving that he gets paid purely to have fun. You can’t hate on that though. If you still need more, hit up DC for some behind the scenes love.

It’s hard to believe that it took 14 years to happen, although he probably planned it that way, but Rob Dyrdek is launching his first full apparel, accessory and footwear line with DC this fall.

The collection is tied together with the theme “Fantasies Run Deep” and will hit stores on October 1, 2009. Check out Dyrdek rocking some of the stuff after the jump. We will have product shots soon.
