Dr. Martens 1461 OXFORD SHOES

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 individualistic style have a story about doing things the usual way? After their adoption by the original ska and reggae-loving skinheads in 1960s England unlocked the fashion potential of these humble work boots, the genie was well and truly out of the bottle with the genre-hopping style of Doc Martens.

Buck suede is known for its bright, clean colors — a perfect canvas to show a new side of the 1461 shoe.
