THE BRAND DNA IN ITS SUMMER MODELS
Not just boots. The Dr Martens sandal collection for spring-summer 2019 has just been released in stores and online. In the same way as iconic shoes, which have made history since 1960, the models proposed for the summer remain faithful to the DNA of the English brand. That’s why, they explain from the company, each piece «looks proud, exactly like boots.»
The past with its legacy is also expressed by the shape, the look. In fact, there are strong references to vintage-inspired archive collections: for example from the grunge scene of the East Coast of America, to which new more stylish models are added to give even more choice. After all, why homologate?
DISCOVERING THE MODELS, BETWEEN QUALITY LEATHER AND STRENGTH
Like all Dr Martens shoes, sandals are also characterized by two elements: high-quality materials and strength. In fact, they are made with resistant and skilfully finished leather, to adapt «to the most demanding of summers and to the most rebellious foot.» They continue from the brand. These details highlight others: strong, durable and grooved soles, yellow threaded seams and sturdy construction.
The characteristics just described are made possible thanks to the Northamptonshire factory where it all began. The structure still exists today, in the village of Wollaston. And in those places, apparently isolated from the world, a specific line of made in England products is made by a small team of people trained in traditional shoe factories, and the unique processing process makes Dr Martens a shoe like no other in the world .
