30 years of Nine Inch Nails’ seminal album The Downward Spiral, Dr. Martens unveils a collaboration blending iconic footwear with industrial music’s raw intensity. The collection features three silhouettes crafted from premium backhand and smooth leathers: the 1460 Boot showcasing Russell Mills’ “Wound” artwork with multiple fastenings including a branded ankle zip; the 1461 3-eye shoe displaying the album’s “Crystal Teeth” image and “the downward spiral” in subtle gloss; and the 1490 10-eye boot inspired by NIN’s corn starch-covered live performances. Each model boasts unique soles: commando tread, BEN outsole and ice commando outsole respectively. A special edition 1490 boot embossed with the album art will be gifted to select fans.
The collection will be available starting on July 19 from Dr. Marten’s website and other select retailers. Read more at Hypebeast.
