Dr Martens

Dr Martens

It was only after injuring his ankle that Klaus Märtens discovered how little comfort and support standard-issue military boots provided, a realisation that would lead him to the drawing board while recuperating. Using soft leather for the shell and a tyre to make air-cushioned soles, Märtens designed a pair of boots that, in its many variations, has had a pivotal and lasting influence on contemporary street fashion. Dr. Martens continues to be an iconic part of youth culture with its smooth, hard leather upper and distinctive yellow top-stitching along the welt.

THE ICONIC offers a seamless way to shop for the quintessential pair of Docs known and beloved universally alongside its contemporary readaptations.
