UNDERGROUND x Olli Hull Release Collaboration
Underground, creator of the All gender Creeper and other subculture styles joins up with Olli Hull, London based artist and designer who creates one of a kind pieces of wearable art, to present the latest collaboration.
As part of the collaboration, The classic Wulfrun Creeper and the 14 Eyelet Steel Cap Ranger Boot are given a contemporary interpretation through the application of Olli’s signature artwork and as Olli explains:
“Whilst designing the artwork for these shoes I thought a lot about my own experiences growing up, and how as a Queer person, I have always felt somewhat ‘Underground’ or outside of the ‘norm’. As I reflected on the LGBTQ+ community in London I began to notice traces of subcultures and Underground movements that have been before us, who all wanted to disrupt the status quo and reimagine a new way of life.
I wanted these shoes to celebrate The Underground as I know it, which is the rumbling belly below the spectacle of the mainstream that hungers for self-expression, champions authenticity and encourages positive change. It’s the Trans pride marches, The Extinction rebellion protests, Secret warehouse raves and ‘Dalston Superstore’ on a Saturday night. It’s that place where for a moment everyone is free.“
Each pair is custom made with the artwork applied at Olli’s studio in London. Available from both the Underground and Olli Hull online stores as pre-orders.
