In the 1990s, Red or Dead occupied a unique place in London’s style landscape, sitting somewhere between club culture, street fashion and independent design. Their footwear became instantly recognisable for its exaggerated proportions, playful silhouettes and refusal to follow conventional trends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike most surviving examples, these boots were not stored away.
