In November 2010, Dr. Martens invited GOD to participate in their exhibition and charity auction, 50 Years of Dr. Martens: The Making of an Icon. GOD's 2010 take on this most iconic footwear is radical. By using a dragon and phoenix print that originated in the fabric traditionally used for baby carriers, not only is ruggedness contrasted with tenderness to great effect, an Asian icon is starkly juxtaposed with a Western one.

This is our popular brocade print. It is so popular, we still use it for some fashion items. It is a typical graphic for embroidered silk cloth used for qipao dresses and men's suits. They are essentially styalised motifs incorporate symbols of longevity and prosperity. In our design, GOD in both English and Chinese has been incorproated and can be read in both the up and down positions.

An old-style metal folding gate that was featured in many of our stores. Each leaf of the metal shutter is punctured with GOD.

In the past, Hong Kong contractors would fashion hats using newspapers to cover their heads while painting. We created this painter's hat in 2003 so as to keep the style, but it was made out of fabric. We, of course, used our popular Signature Print, Newspaper. Still a popular print today, Newspaper is a replication of a classic classified section of a Hong Kong newspaper.

Our Hong Kong Districts print started appearing on products around 2007. It is inspired by the classic French printing style, Toile de Jouy, but with a Hong Kong twist. It features some of the most recognisable street scenes from the 1970s.
