# Collaborative Sturdy Holiday Boots Dr. Martens and Stussy Join Forces on a Rugged Shoe Design By Amy Duong | Published 2019-12-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-and-stussy References: [drmartens](http://www.drmartens.com/us/en/) & [stussy](https://www.stussy.com/) [Dr. Martens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanamica-and-dr-martens) and [Stussy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-4) join forces again -- this time, the duo highlight a design fit for the Holiday 2019 season with a rugged footwear design that captivates the design language of both contributing brands. The introduction of the 8053 HY silhouette draws inspiration from [Dr. Martens' Work capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-x-awake-ny), reinterpreting the 8053 padded collar shoe. The main component that shines is made from Snowplow, which is a leather material that repels water, salt, and grit, making the footwear highly durable during the colder season. Additional details include the mid-cut silhouette, hiker laces, D-ring lace loops, mesh lining, and durable puritan stitching. The sole unit foundation is informed with the progressive PVC and rubber hybrid blend entitled Wintergrip.
