Dr. Martens has revamped its ‘Adrian’ silhouette and tapped multi-faceted U.K. artist Blondey McCoy for its accompanying campaign. The updated ‘Adrian’ shoe comes as a part of Dr. Martens ‘Archive’ collection, arriving in four new colorways just ahead of the colder months. The ‘Adrian’ uses a suede base, and the new ‘Black,’ ‘Tan,’ ‘Plum,’ and ‘Turquoise’ colorways accentuate the unique construction of the shoe, offering a twist on the traditional loafer silhouette with a Dr. Martens sole. The shoe uses a kiltie fringe for added effect, matching the color of the shoe.
The ‘Adrian’ silhouette will be spotlighted at an event in Paris Jun 24, 2022. Interested consumers can visit the Dr. Martens website for more information, as well as to see how Blondey styles the shoe.
