To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 8-hole boot, Dr. Martens is collaborating with 12 brands throughout the year for "THE 1460 REMASTERED. The project, which has teamed up with such distinguished brands as Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons, and Undercover to create a special pair of boots each month, has only two more editions to go.
For this 11th edition, the brand chosen is Double Taps (WTAPS®︎). The boots with the essence of military wear that is typical of this brand will appear on the market.
The first thing to mention is the three nylon belts and elastic band with buckles on the front, which completely removes the laces from the 8-hole boot, creating a new shape that has never existed before. Another highlight is the toe, which reveals a steel face subtly stamped with "WT. The iconic stitching on the welt has been changed from yellow to black, creating a cohesive design.
The front has a nylon belt and elastic band.
Steel embedded in the toe.
These boots are recommended to be worn with work and military bottoms such as cargo pants or baker pants. Sneakers tend to make the feet look poor in winter styles when outerwear is often in use, but these boots will eliminate that stress.
. The heel loop, symbolic of the 8-hole boot, is retained.
Both brand names are printed on the inside. "NON SAFETY FOOTWEAR" and a humorous message that reads "NON SAFETY FOOTWEAR.
The shoes will go on sale on Saturday, November 28. They will be available at the Dr. Martens online store, as well as at Double Taps and HOODS stores.
