Dr. Martens recently joined forces with Canadian streetwear veterans HAVEN to create a premium Made in England 1461 shoe. According to the brand, the new shoe pays homage to both Canadian and British heritage and takes into consideration "Canada’s turbulent seasons and the brand’s embodiment of subcultural style."
The new Made In England 1461 HAVEN shoe was thoughtfully designed and produced in the Dr. Martens Wollaston factory with a mix of leathers from one of the most prestigious British tanneries – C. F. Stead. In an effort to create a "mixed material aesthetic," the new loafer features Classic Calf leather and Culatta full-grain leather as well as a stacked smoke BEN outsole detailed with black eyelets, black welt stitching, and a dual black and white secondary lace.
