DIY DOCS: NICO HERRERA

THE DM’S TEAM GETS CREATIVE

Dr. Martens have been encouraging our artistic Docs community to get creative by customising their shoes and boots.

We caught up with Nico Herrera, who is a Sales Assistant at our Oxford Street store in London to see how he’s made his 1460 Mono boots his own.

Can you tell us a bit about your design?

It’s very nature inspired, very organic and you can see the gold accessories, which is pretty much what I like and always wear. 


What did you use to customise your Docs?

Markers, stencils, accessories and gems. The gems I ordered online are self-adhesive, therefore no glue was needed, which makes it a lot easier to manage them and less messy. In terms of the jewellery, I used bits I’ve had for years, which include gold-plated necklaces and bracelets.

What Docs are your current favourites?

I’d say the Jadon XL, just because every time I’ve got them on I just feel powerful - like nothing can stop me.


What do you do in your free time?

I enjoy just looking out for inspiration, anything from films, music, or photography. Anything that just lets me express myself.


What three tracks are you listening to right now?

Mostly R&B and Reggaetón, just anything with flavour on it really. I like everything really, as long as you can dance to it.
