From @dannydixxon , on why the oxblood was conceived ....
.
.
“The Oxblood honors the roots of so many subcultures and music that influenced both @chrisj5000 and I. You will find several references over time to the importance of what different genres and their underground cultures did for us in our lives.
.
Doc Marten oxblood red boots were a staple in early 1960/1970 non racist Skinhead movement , which thrived in working class culture and celebrated their non conforming ways to present commercialism and conservative politics. This time period lead to two tone ska after the presence of Jamaican music , and the style later lended to early punk, hardcore, and even birth of grunge in the 90s.
.
. Present day that resurgence of fashion is predominately fashion, so our push was to express ourselves in the knowledge and respect that a small piece was present for the birth of so much that influences our art, lifestyles, and design.
.
.
It’s not the fashion.... it’s an icon of subculture that we should celebrate and keep its history and roots as knowledge to further generations as we watch present day become the death of the underground.

This colorway was first released a few years back and means a ton to us, very excited to see it back for an anniversary run. “
