Despite record-breaking sales in the ‘90s during the grunge era, Dr. Martens has enjoyed immense popularity seemingly each decade amongst a different subculture sect, be it the British youth in the ‘60s or the punk scene of the ‘70s and ‘80s. However, thanks to the company’s ability to adapt and grow, the London-based footwear staple seems to appeal to its widest audience yet in today’s fashion landscape, and now you can purchase your favorite Dr. Martens shoes directly from the crew at Huckberry.
The stocked collection features six distinct models in total, whether you’re looking for the iconic Dr. Martens boots or one of several dress shoes. Those who have even cursory knowledge of fashion are well aware of the emblematic 1460 silhouette, a pair of lace-up boots born in 1960. Itself an upgrade of the original ‘40s boot that combined left-over military supplies with an air-cushioned sole, the timeless 1460 was the first to feature the brand’s now-iconic yellow stitching while also improving fit. Still built in the same factory they’ve been produced for over 60 years, the 1460 Vintage is wrapped in a Quilon leather upper with a two-tone finish and still gets the signature eight-eye construction. Both the upper and sole are Goodyear-welted for durability and comfort.
Also featured in the collection are several of Dr. Martens’ most popular dress shoes. If you’re looking for a slip-on pair, there are the Penton Classic Calf or the tasseled Black Polished Smooth Adrian. Meanwhile, laced silhouettes include the two-toned 1461 Vintage, a reissue of the 1961 model that was essentially a dressier, low-top 3-eye version of the iconic boot. There are also two versions of the Lowell, in both black and butterscotch brown. These archival silhouettes are decidedly old-school but still stand out from your average dress shoe thanks to the unique stitching design.
