Dr. Martens has tapped designer Marc Jacobs to help the British boot company celebrate the 60th anniversary of its eight-eyelet 1460 boot silhouette. There’s history between the two labels with Jacobs having partnered with the boot company 27 years ago.
Jacobs’ version of the 1460 boot touches on his enduring love of New York, his place of birth, and the punk movement through a boot detailed with a charm-filled double chain that hangs from the the back of the boot’s shaft. Among the charms is a cameo, whistle, dice, Statue of Liberty and crystal heart, among other items.
Jacobs the designer is a vegan and so is his boot, which is offered in a burgundy colorway. Additionally the tongue is co-branded with the Dr. Martens and Marc Jacobs name.
This will be Dr. Martens’ ninth effort celebrating the 1460 boot. Prior collaborations include efforts with streetwear labels Needles and A-Cold-Wall*, A Bathing Ape, Raf Simons, Hello Kitty, Michael Basquiat
The Dr. Martens and Marc Jacobs’ collaboration will release on September 26, 2020 at 9:00 AM PST on drmartens.com.
