The sandals come in the form of the DM DEPA and the DM BOAK, which both maintain an open-air design that is complete with a series of oversized straps to keep them in place during wear. The Lorsan outsole on the sandals make them instantly recognizable, while also offering impressive support for wearers to appreciate. The Dr. Martens x SUICOKE sandals will be launching online as well as at select retailers starting March 13 and are likely to be a coveted range of footwear options amongst avid fans of both brands.
