Dr. Martens continues to expand its 1460 Remastered collection with the fifth installment -- this time, it draws collaborative efforts of designer Jun Takahashi. He is celebrating 30 years of Undercover and the custom design honors both contributing efforts. In terms of the footwear design, it dices into his technical design language as a bespoke bouquet pattern decorates the shoe's interior.
He chose florals because they are internationally recognized as a sign of celebration -- this adorns the shoe's sock, lining, and custom packaging. The rest of the shoe boasts a construction of black corduroy at the upper, which is sourced from Britain. It is then accented with the Undercover slogan "Spiritual Noise" with "S" and "N" embroidered.
