DR MARTENS

In Munich, Germany, Dr Klaus Maertens had a garage full of inventions, including a shoe sole almost literally made of air; in Northampton, England, the Griggs family had a history of making quality footwear and their heads were full of ideas. They met, like a classic band audition, through an advert in the classified pages of a magazine. A marriage was born, an icon conceived of innovation and self-expression. The 1460 was born.

Decades have come and gone, brands have exploded and then imploded, but the 1460 is still there, unique, individual, and original. Anti-fashion defined in eight holes.
