Dr. Martens are making boots out of England again. YAY!
The best news of all is that they are doing the boots & shoes to the original specifications of the real originals.
They have brought back the legendary oxblood color... A true favorite of mods, punks and skins worldwide.
Here's a little info from the good Dr. himself...
"Vintage Originals. These are a direct replica of the VERY FIRST boots to roll off the production line on the 1st April 1960. Handcrafted using the original construction techniques by cobblers in the original factory; Wollaston, Northamptonshire, England. The product features narrower horizontal tread bars, criss crossed coring bars, a darker shade of PVC, a storm welt bound together on the lateral side, small indentations left on the welt by the original stitching machine, no top collar binding, runs into the eye stay above the top eyelet and made on the original ’59’ last. This is where it all began."
We only have limited sizes available at the shop so please come by and see them while you can.
Cheers!
