Dr. Martens introduces the Keith Haring collection, marking the first time that the footwear brand joins forces with the pop artist. The capsule is made up of the 1460 boot and two iterations of the 1461, detailed with recognizable artwork by Haring. The 1460 boot is made from smooth black leather materials, detailed with black graphics of the iconic figures throughout the upper.
The heel spotlights a stark contrast of bold and colorful details on a strip. The 1461 shoes are also made from smooth leather materials and emblazoned with some of Haring's most iconic designs. The first honors his 'angelic baby' art with a white silhouette. The second one boasts a bolder look, featuring his signature bold lines and all-over prints. The capsule is rounded out with a kids 1460 silhouette that is accented with a cartoon dog.
