Punk-focused British footwear brand [Dr. Martens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-collection) has announced the launch of its new Dr. Martens x [Betty Boop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frances-valentines) collection, a concise ensemble of boots, shoes, and sandals that spotlight the iconic cartoon character Betty Boop.

First up is the new [eight-eye Jadon Boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-8eyelet-boot), which features a glossy black finish and images of an angel and devil version of Betty Boop. The boot is still made from Dr. Marten's signature leather. However, here, it comes finished with additional heart-shaped rivets, a branded Betty Boop tag, and a polka dot pattern on the interior.

Next are the Betty Boop platform shoes that essentially mimic the design choices of the boot, offering fans a low-top option. Lastly, the collection delivers Betty Boop branded versions of Dr. Marten's iconic Clarissa white vegan leather sandals.
