Factory work boots and a cushioned sole developed by a medical doctor recuperating from a broken foot seem like an incredibly unlikely starting point for footwear that would become a staple of cutting-edge youth culture.
But why would a shoe synonymous with innavidualistic style have a story about doing things the usual way? After widespread adoption bysubcultures in 1960s England unlocked the fashion potential of their humble work boots, the genie was well and truly out of the bottle and the genre-hopping style of Dr. Martens was born.
Dr. Martens rejoins California-based streetwear labelBabylon LA. Having approached the high-top1460 in the past, the duo now pivots to its low-top counterpart in the1461. Tapping into Babylon’s youthful punk energy and DIY aesthetics, the 1461 has been prepared in a unique double-layered approach.
