MM6 Maison Margiela works in collaboration with Dr. Martens to deliver a unique take on the classic British boot, with the1460 Leather Boot as the main canvas. The two fuse two looks into one modern look which takes the black leather silhouette blended with the low-top oxford shoe.
The hybrid model comes in two stealthy colorway options -- one is a red oxford hue and the second is a monochromatic black palette that looks like a regular pair of Dr. Martens. The collection is also joined with another fused hybrid silhouette between the two. It is a Moccasin design that is partially a penny loafer and partially an Oxord model for the Fall/Winter 2024 season.
