The MadeMe x Dr. Martens 1461 Quad shoe has been unveiled as a romanticized version of the iconic namesake footwear model that's certain to catch the eye of fashioned-minded wearers.
The shoe features a platform design that's covered in the signature matte leather with a soft shin finish on the exterior, which is deviated from in the toe box. This comes in the form of the steel heart cutouts on the top that are polished to a mirrored finish. The shoes are observed in black and silver color options, which are both accented by the signature enlarged rigger outsoles and yellow midsole stitching.
The MadeMe x Dr. Martens 1461 Quad shoe is being promoted with a photo series starring London-based singer-songwriter Lola Young.
