ADRIAN SNAFFLE LOAFERS

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 by subcultures 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.

The latest rework of 1970's Dr. Martens classic Adrian loafer uses rugged Repello Calf suede from C. F. Stead. The loafer is detailed with antique gold trim and a removable tannery swing tag.
