Dr. Martens’ tribute to Nine Inch Nails’ visceral and groundbreaking album marks the beginning of an exclusive collaboration celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Downward Spiral. This musical monolith transcends genres by exploring the bleakest themes, yet ultimately rejects nihilism in favor of hope.
The collection features three striking silhouettes, each incorporating industrial design elements. The 8-eye 1460 boot boasts a stark black and white design inspired by the album’s iconic artwork. The 3-eye 1461 shoe is adorned with a ‘Crystal Teeth’ design, while the extra tall 10-eye 1490 boot draws inspiration from the band’s uninhibited live shows, where they covered themselves in cornstarch for a decayed, post-apocalyptic look.
