DGK Skateboards was founded by Stevie Williams in 2002 after parting ways with Chocolate. DGK is an acronym for Dirty Ghetto Kids, which was the name of Stevie's skate crew growing up in Philadelphia. In 2004, Stevie entered into a contract with Reebok which included the licensing of DGK shoes and clothing, but lasted no more than a couple years. Today, DGK continues to produce quality decks, apparel and accessories under the umbrella of The Kayo Corp.
