Dr Martens is gearing up for an exciting new collaboration with Engineered Garments, set to debut on September 9th. The renowned British footwear brand has joined forces with Daiki Suzuki, the mastermind behind the label, to create two unique pairs of shoes handcrafted by Dr Martens’ skilled cobblers in Northamptonshire.
Daiki Suzuki, known for his passion for vintage fashion and influence in the streetwear scene, is particularly drawn to localized manufacturing traditions. This shared love for craftsmanship and heritage is what brought him to Dr Martens. As an owner of vintage Dr Martens shoes himself, he has now added his own touch to the classic 1461 shoe for this exclusive collaboration.
The upcoming shoes feature an “overly engineered” asymmetric lace system that elegantly extends down one side of the shoe. They will be available in two materials: black Smooth leather or milkshake Hi Suede. These versatile shades seamlessly transition from workwear to casual wear, catering to various fashion preferences. The shoes proudly showcase the iconic Dr Martens markings, including the striking yellow welt stitching and twin scripted heel loops. Additionally, the collaboration introduces elevated details such as a silver-foiled sock liner and a secondary pair of two-tone laces, allowing for personalized customization.
To highlight the significant collaboration, the launch imagery features models chosen from the talented makers of Dr Martens and Nepenthes London. This collaborative approach emphasizes the exceptional craftsmanship and expertise that went into creating these extraordinary shoes.
Dr Martens’ collaborations have always been highly anticipated, and the partnership with Engineered Garments is no exception. Both brands share a dedication to quality and innovative design, making this collaboration a perfect match. Fashion enthusiasts can expect the Engineered Garments x Dr Martens shoes to become highly sought-after additions to their collections.
