In November 2010, Dr. Martens invited GOD to participate in their exhibition and charity auction, 50 Years of Dr. Martens: The Making of an Icon. The exhibition was held at LCX in Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui.
For over fifty years, the classic Dr. Martens 1460 boot has been the footwear of choice for Britain's uniformed workers. It has also subsequently been adopted by various radical youth movements, all of which adds to its cult appeal and kudos.
GOD's 2010 take on this most iconic of footwear is radical. By using a dragon and phoenix print that originated in the fabric traditionally used for baby carriers, not only is ruggedness contrasted with tenderness to great effect, an Asian icon is starkly juxtaposed with a Western one.
