DR. MARTENS x UNDERCOVER

Reigniting our long-running partnership, we’re back together with the legendary, deconstructionist Japanese brand Undercover. And brand founder Jun Takahashi has gone one step further to mark our joint anniversaries.

Drawing on his technical approach to design, Takahashi has created a one-off, bespoke bouquet pattern and incorporated it into the boot’s inner. Choosing flowers because they’re an international symbol of celebration, he’s printed them on the sock and lining, and across the packaging.

The 1460 Undercover is Takahashi’s tribute to DM’s British roots: Made in England to the highest standards in our original Wollaston factory and loaded with decades of shoemaking heritage. Crafted from minimalist, British-sourced Black Corduroy — chosen specially by the Japanese designer — the boots are finished with ‘S’ and ‘N’ embroidery on the vamp, which stands for “SPIRITUAL NOISE”.

For our 60th anniversary, we worked with 12 innovative labels, brands and designers on 12 one-off reworks of our Original boot, each limited to 1460 pairs worldwide. Dropping once each month throughout 2020, the boots usually sold out in minutes.
