Revok Tyrants!

Here is an interesting new design from Obey group. The Tyrant Boot print was inspired by the Frederick Douglas quote “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress”.

He was fond of saying, “I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.”
