The best way to celebrate the anniversary of an iconic 90’s album? Release them in the form of Dr. Martens, obviously.
Nine Inch Nails just announced their collaboration with Dr. Martens to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their legendary album The Downward Spiral. The shoes and boots will be inspired by the album artwork, according to Stereogum.
On the Dr. Martens website, it currently says:
A physical response to Nine Inch Nails’ visceral, ground-breaking album. Our exclusive collaboration celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Downward Spiral. A musical monolith that transcends genres through an exploration of the bleakest themes and yet manages to reject nihilism for hope.
A collection comprised of 3 hard-hitting silhouettes incorporating industrial design references. The 8-eye 1460 boot in a stark black and white design from the album’s iconic artwork. The 3-eye 1461 shoe in black with a ‘Crystal Teeth’ design from the album. And the extra tall 10-eye 1490 boot inspired by the band’s uninhibited live shows where they would cover themselves in cornstarch for a decayed, post-apocalyptic aesthetic.
According to Stereogum, the line will be available beginning July 19th, and you can sign up to be the first to see it by signing up for the email list on their website. Read more HERE.
