DVS Shoe Company, the skate shoe brand acquired by Sequential Brands Group in a bankruptcy auction in June, announced its continued partnership with elite athlete Brian Deegan, an icon in the motorsports arena.

The signing follows the re-signing of Daewon Song and Tory Pudwill to its skate roster of athletes.

Sequential
Brands CEO Colin Dyne says, “Deegan personifies the authenticity of the
DVS brand in the action sports arena. Not only is he one of the top
ranked action sports athletes of all time, his history with the brand
reflects our commitment to maintaining the integrity of the brand’s
heritage.”

Deegan will wrap up the 2012 Global Rallycross Season
on October 30th in Las Vegas, where he and only one other driver have a
shot at taking the title. Deegan currently sits in second place, only
six points behind teammate Tanner Foust. The race will, for the first
time, be in conjunction with the 2012 SEMA Show – in front of the auto
industry's biggest names.

Deegan, who has committed to five more
years with the DVS brand, says, “I’m excited to be with DVS. I believe
in the brand and it will be a strong partnership with big plans in the
works!”
