Following last month’s first instalment, the second drop delivers higher heights and even more dramatic drapery with towering boots and signature pearl lacing.
Last month, we lifted the veil on our new collaboration with Rick Owens for another dose of the dark, industrial grunge-glamour that has defined our partnership. Built on our new DMXL sole, the second drop continues our fusion of primal punk swagger and exaggerated, unconventional elegance. The 2 new boots are once again brought to life by producer, performer, and DJ Sissy Misfit.
The 1460 Jumbo Lace boot is an exaggeration of our classic 8-eye silhouette, with oversized brushed silver eyelets, a thick outside zip, and extra-thick wraparound pearl laces. The formidable 1918 boot has 18 eyelets and equally dramatic wraparound lacing, and our scripted heel loop is signed in black and pearl. Both boots are fitted with extra-tall tongues and are built from supple Lunar leather, which lends unexpected softness to the brutalist structure of the boots.
Each boot stands on our inflated DMXL sole — one of the first designs to emerge from our experimental new design category, where we push the boundaries of our brand DNA. Exaggerating our classic construction, the sole combines lightweight EVA with durable PVC pods. It’s marked with DM’s grooving and secured with our unmistakable yellow welt stitching.
