Dr. Martens has once again joined forces with A-COLD-WALL to launch a new black iteration of their iconic utilitarian shoe. The new shoe is comfortable, lightweight, and durable and these commuter-friendly qualities made it adored by postmen and policemen when it was first released.

In addition, the footwear piece features hidden ghillie lacing and contrast upper stitching alongside a printed and silver foil A-COLD-WALL branding. The shoe is completed with brushed silver metal rivets, a black smooth leather AirWair heel loop, and a dual-branded footbed.
