Releasing on December 2nd.
Coming off a recent collaboration that dropped only a few months ago, Dr. Martens x Rick Owens is back for another instalment. Rick Owens himself appointed p Ron Athey to feature in the campaign, having a long history with the performance artist for his rebellious nature that was seamlessly applied to his own art.
“I asked Ron to represent this Dr. Martens collab as an example of how elegantly real transgression – and our individual searches for transcendence – can be.”
The two-shoe capsule features the 8-eye and 18-eye boots, both fitted with a 2″ Quad Retro sole to offer more dramatic proportions. The signature Rick Owens lacing system is applied to the 8-eye 1460 boot which sport jumbo-thickness pearl laces that are kept in place via dull silver hooks and finished off with a zipper on the medial side and the classic yellow welt stitching. Similar details can be seen on the 18-eye 1918 boot that have a more traditional lacing system but offer an extra long shaft to accomodate the extra lace holes as well as the same pearl jumbo laces. The shoe also features a black and pearl scripted tag on the back heel.
