# 90s Rebellious Platform Boots Dr. Martens Drops a Dolls Kill Collaboration Full of Rugged Designs By Amy Duong | Published 2019-10-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolls-kill-collaboration References: [dollskill](https://www.dollskill.com/) Dr. Martens is launching a Dolls Kill collaboration that features the highest soles to date for the [rugged footwear label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-x-dr-martens). This time, it works together with the US retail brand to capture rebellious energy through unique designs. This resulted in two special paired of [platform boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-x-dr-martens-2295-decon) that are backed by Dr. Martens' impressive durable construction. The design inspiration is drawn from the [90s DIY culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzz-collection). The first of the two is the Jadon Hi Max Dk shoe and the second is the 1B60 Max DK -- both of which sit on a stacked Quad Retro Max sole, which is the highest air-cushioned sole to date. The footwear is made from black Pisa leather materials throughout the uppers. As a nod to Dolls Kill, the boots have a branded lace keeper, co-branded tongue and sock art, as well as a lace charm inspired by a piercing.
