Do you want a pair of the real Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) combat shoes? The price: US$1,100.00
Nope, it’s not a joke, the Reznor Combat Boot does exist and is a limited edition in black ink with wax finish that is being put on the market by N.I.C.E. Collective. The shoes were custom made for our Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. ‘Built’ (their word, not ours) locally in San Francisco, this adaptation of the N.I.C.E. Collective Combat boot will only be sold through the N.I.C.E. Collective online shop for a limited time.
So in short, start scraping together all the pennies you can get ahold of… you’ll need it! You can get a glimpse right here.
The designer clothing brand N.I.C.E. Collective was founded in 1997. Though their focus is on menswear, the designers also produce collections for women as well. In the past N.I.C.E. Collective has outfitted tours for Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins and The Police. The line’s celebrity following includes Robert Pattinson, Gavin Rossdale and Brad Pitt.
Which means you’ll be in good company if you get a pair :). Keep in mind that the price is not really exceptional considering this is not cheap Chinese import… local products cost more because of the non-use of cheap (Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, …) (child) labour. Just saying.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
