Three Kings Boot

In our search to collaborate with authentic and original American artists for the Allen Edmonds brand, I reached out to Matt Marcus and Alex McWatt, the owners of 3 Kings Tattoo in NYC, and asked them if they’d be interested. I gave them the vibe of what were we were after, sent them some styles that I thought provided a large enough canvas for them to plan their work, and gave them a bunch of leather skins to practice and experiment on. After that, you let the artist be the artist. The unique pairs they tattooed by hand were then replicated with laser cutting for full production.
