It’s no coincidence that Jun Takahashi is one of our longest-running design partners. The Japanese designer’s countercultural origins and underground aesthetic fit seamlessly into the DM’s world. For almost a decade, Takahashi has brought fresh influences and perspectives to our timeless silhouettes. Our latest collaboration is no exception – inspired by his passion for film, and handcrafted in our original factory.

FILM & FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Paying tribute to Takahashi’s love of 70s cinema, the collection includes three new takes on our Original 1461 3-eye shoe in black, cherry red and blue – handcrafted from our original Smooth leather and punched with our unmistakable yellow welt stitching. Each pair is printed with a distinctive grid check pattern from the Undercover archive and embossed with WE MAKE NOISE NOT CLOTHES, the label’s signature sign-off.
