Dr. Martens has joined forces with The Met on a new creative collaboration inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s ’36 Views of Mount Fuji’ series.
The deal was brokered by Beanstalk and celebrates a fresh take on the Japanese artist through footwear.
The collection consists of three pieces – The Met 1460 boot, 1461 shoe and The Met backpack.
Created in the 1830s, Katsushika Hokusai defied geographical borders and boundaries as his artistry allowed others to be able to view the wonders of the world they could not otherwise.
The Met 1460 Boot bears an illustration of The Great Wave, honouring one of the most recognisable pieces of Japanese art; the 1461 shoe features the Fuji from Gotenyama at Shinagawa on the Tokaido, depicting a picnic gathering underneath a bountiful cherry blossom at Gotenyama; while The Met backpack also features The Great Wave print.
