It is now a long time ago that only adults thought about political and social issues. With the development of media and social networking, young people are more sensitive to such issues. It is often said that young people have always been more sensitive to social discord.

Transmission of ideas has always been done by various artists in the art and music scenes since long ago. For example, the UK band "The Clash," considered a pioneer of punk rock, has also expressed a critical attitude toward unemployment and racism. The time period was from the late 70s to the early 80s. Despite the differences in backgrounds, the issues have always been the same.

They have always faced problems, and their style has always been Dr. Martens. They have been partners for many years, and now, after 46 years, they are collaborating with each other.

The leather is top-coated, and the more the shoes are worn, the more the color of the underlying material is revealed and the deeper the flavor becomes. The 1460 8-hole boots are in military green, while the 1461 3-hole shoes are in cherry red. These colors were selected by the band members themselves based on their albums "The Clash" and "Sandinista!

In addition, two made-in-england items will be available exclusively at the official online store and "Showroom TYO" at the same time. The English-made model is a gem made in the same factory and with the same handcrafting techniques as the shoes first worn by "The Clash" over 40 years ago, and uses the traditional smooth leather first produced by "Dr. Martens".
