# Redesigning Punk Boots Deliciously Devine Designer Doc Martens 1460 Recreated By Jacqueline Parrish | Published 2009-08-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redesigned-doc-martens Lace-up Doc Martens have epitomized the culture known as punk from the very time that the first neck-chained, ripped garment, purple haired anarchist emerged from the recesses of the London Underground. Arguably a pop-culture icon, the signature boot is instantaneously recognizable. Recently, Dr. Martens asked several prominent designers to redesign their famous 1460 boot (so named because of its landmark first distribution; April 1, 1960). The result is a positively delightful collection of footwear that would draw its wearer just as much attention on the streets, as it would on display in a modern art exhibit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Design-driven Footwear:** Opportunity for innovative designers to collaborate with footwear companies to create unique, stylistic products. - **Customizable Shoes:** Opportunity for companies to offer customizable designs to cater to individual fashion preferences. - **Sustainable Footwear:** Opportunity for companies to incorporate sustainable materials and ethical production methods in the production of footwear. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for designers and fashion brands to collaborate with shoe companies to create aesthetically unique and noticeable footwear. - **Tech Industry:** Opportunity for companies to develop a platform to enable customers to create their designs digitally and place orders through a simple user interface. - **Sustainability Industry:** Opportunity for sustainability-focused businesses to collaborate with shoe companies to create eco-friendlier and ethical footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Avant-Garde Dramatic Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-dmxl-megalace.md) - [Luxe Burgundy Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pascal-love-letter-boot.md) - [80s Metal-Band-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-x-metallica.md) - [Paint-Adorned Rugged Fashion Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-8eyelet-boot.md) - [Bold Maximalist Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoshield-xx01.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Hybrid Dynamic Fashion Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-leather-boot.md) - [Elevated Industrial Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-x-dr-martens.md) - [Reimagined Legacy Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiki-boot.md)
