Chum Cool Grey Sneakers

A cult-favorite crossover between street art and skate culture, this rare DC x KAWS “Chum” collaboration stands as one of the most coveted artistic releases of the early 2000s. Designed by Brian Donnelly, known professionally as KAWS, the sneakers feature his iconic “Chum” character embossed in tonal grey along the upper—an understated yet instantly recognizable signature of the artist’s work.

Merging DC’s chunky skate silhouette with KAWS’s minimalist pop-art aesthetic, the design perfectly encapsulates a cultural moment when skateboarding, streetwear, and contemporary art collided. Produced in extremely limited quantities, the pair represents the creative energy of that era—when boundaries between subcultures dissolved and design became a shared language. Complete with its original box, this pair remains one of the most desirable KAWS footwear collaborations ever made.

Pharrell Williams, known as Skateboard P, has long embodied the intersection of music, fashion, and skate culture. This pair was owned by Pharrell Williams. These shoes are accompanied by the original box.

This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Ownership verifying that the shoes are from Pharrell Williams’ private collection.
