DR. MARTENS
As the public grows ever more attuned with their style, a number of sartorial trends have been experiencing resurgence. Among which is the boot trend and one brand that easily comes into everyone’s mind is Dr. Martens.
On the first of April, 1960, the first pair of Dr. Martens boot rolled off the Cobbs Lane Factory’s production line in Wollaston, England – giving it its iconic name, the 1460 boot. What once was originally created for workers, from postmen to the police, Dr. Martens became increasingly popular amid characters of a rebellious nature, subculture vultures, musicians, and artists – contributing to the brand’s legacy of being a symbol of individuality and dynamic self-expression.
As Dr. Martens increases its presence, longtime wearers and those who are yet to own a pair can now enjoy an easier and wider access to the brand’s vast range of styles. Due to its unfazed popularity, the manufacturing process of Dr. Martens boot has since been fine-tuned and perfected. With that said, Dr. Martens Originals, a line that features the brand’s iconic styles such as the 1460 8-eye boot, 101 6-eye boot, 3989 Brogue, the Adrian Tassel loafer, and the 2976 Chelsea boot may all be found in General.
Aside from the iconic Originals line, the AW16 season sees Dr. Martens introduce a new collection, its most evolutionary concept since the 1960s, when the original ‘AirWair with bouncing Soles’ technology was engineered as a performance shoe for the working man: DM’s Lite.
DM’s Lite takes all of the iconic DNA and associated comfort and durability that the brand is famous for, but in a new ultra-lightweight Phylon midsole, to offer styles that transcend from work wear to fashion and take classic shoe making skills into street up lifestyle products.
DM’s Lite: A new icon of rebellious self-expression is born. The collection may also be found in General.
