History

"UNDERGROUND WAS BORN OF A LOVE FOR RENEGADE STYLE AND ROCK 'N' ROLL"

Inspired by the ferocity of punk and founded in its aftermath, our original creepers were first worn by new romantics, goths and new wavers in Camden, North London.

As post-punk gave way to grunge, Underground steel-cap boots found favour in North America, Europe and Japan, while in the last decade our winklepicker styles have reflected a newer wave of angular, guitar-driven music.

More recently Underground has been adopted by like-minded couture designers whose collections have been inspired by our uncompromising style.

As movements and subcultures have cross-pollinated with increasing speed, Underground has remained a touchstone with those for whom style is synonymous with intelligence, independence and a rebellious spirit.
