DR. MARTINS X KEITH HARING COLLABORATION
Keith Haring was a New York artist, heavy influenced by 1980s American street culture. Starting out as a graffitist in New York subways, he soon gained public recognition in the 1990s going onto commission large scale murals. His artwork had undertones of socio-political activism and were a commentary on important social issues at the time including AIDs awareness, anti-racial segregation and the cocaine epidemic. He dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and his impact is still seen in the community today.
Dr. Martens has unveiled a new collaboration featuring a selection of Haring’s famous illustrations celebrating his work.
