The Latest to Join Dr. Martens' Remastered Capsule is WTAPS
Dr. Martens has been working on the ongoing Remastered capsule to shine a spotlight on the classic 1460 boot silhouette. For the month of November, the latest brand to work in collaboration with Dr. Martens is Japanese streetwear imprint WTAPS. The duo create an iteration of the model that is ready for the Fall/Winter season.
The boots channel tough spirits from the contributing brands to offer a sturdy and versatile design. The two brands share a commonality of rebelliousness. The 1460 boots draw design language from WTAP's strong utilitarian aesthetics and the results include elevated elements. The steel toe cap is paired together with buckle fastenings by WTAPS to simple adjustments. The construction uses leather throughout the upper. The toe cap is complete in silver for a stark tonal contrast, which is branded with "WT" as well.
