90s Rebellious Platform Boots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Dr. Martens Drops a Dolls Kill Collaboration Full of Rugged Designs

— October 19, 2019 — Art & Design
Dr. Martens is launching a Dolls Kill collaboration that features the highest soles to date for the rugged footwear label. This time, it works together with the US retail brand to capture rebellious energy through unique designs. This resulted in two special paired of platform boots that are backed by Dr. Martens' impressive durable construction.

The design inspiration is drawn from the 90s DIY culture. The first of the two is the Jadon Hi Max Dk shoe and the second is the 1B60 Max DK -- both of which sit on a stacked Quad Retro Max sole, which is the highest air-cushioned sole to date. The footwear is made from black Pisa leather materials throughout the uppers. As a nod to Dolls Kill, the boots have a branded lace keeper, co-branded tongue and sock art, as well as a lace charm inspired by a piercing.
