The capsule is made up of the [1460 boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pascal-love-letter-boot) and two iterations of the [1461](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-x-metallica), detailed with recognizable artwork by Haring. The 1460 boot is made from smooth black leather materials, detailed with black graphics of the iconic figures throughout the upper. The heel spotlights a stark contrast of bold and colorful details on a strip. The 1461 shoes are also made from smooth leather materials and emblazoned with some of Haring's most iconic designs. The first honors his 'angelic baby' art with a white silhouette. The second one boasts a bolder look, featuring his signature bold lines and all-over prints. The capsule is rounded out with a kids 1460 silhouette that is accented with a cartoon dog.
