There's a huge buzz on the streets, as in the past, black Doc's with red laces is said to have been worn by many fascist punks. Groups on the other side of the agenda-fence have vocalized concerns as to why the good Doc would a release red-black combo, in light of their past relationship in the political/ punk arena.

Here's a handy-dandy lace color chart...just in case you are wondering how to state your politics:

* White = White power/white pride, but also traditionalist/non-racist since it was so common
* Red = Neo-Nazi/National Front, but alternatively used to identify Left Wing or Socialist

* Yellow = Worn by SHARPs/anti-racist
* Green = Neutral/non-racist
* Black = Traditionalist skin, punk kid, neutral, or wearing the laces the boots were sold with
* Black + White = Two Tone/into ska or racial unity
