Opening in 2001, KCDC was first located at North 10th Street.[1] The first location of KCDC catered to the NYC skate community by providing access to ramps in addition to the retail skateshop.[2][3][4] Founded by Amy Ellington, KCDC makes an effort to support Women and LGBTQ+ skateboarders.[2] Throughout its history, KCDC's location remained in Williamsburg despite rising rents, until 2024 when Ellington closed the physical location of the skate shop due to rising rents.[2][5][6]
In 2022, KCDC released a hightop Nike SB Dunk in a pink and black colorway.[2][7][8]
KCDC is recognized for hosting community skate events, including art shows, music events, meet-and-greets, and a Valentine's Day skate night.[9][1] Additionally, KCDC produces their own skate videos featuring local skateboarders.[2]
