Dr. Martens is known for its classic punk aesthetic, and the brand is going back in time to honor its roots with its latest collaborative collection that pays tribute to the iconic punk rock band from London that rose to fame in the mid 70s, the Sex Pistols.
Included in the collection are fresh iterations of the 1490 10-Eye Boot, 1925 Steel Toe, Pressler Canvas Lace-Up, and Toomey Canvas Slip-On. All of the footwear designs take cues from the band's 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols' album artwork, which was done by Jamie Reid. Additionally, a number of the different styles feature lyrics from the song 'Pretty Vacant,' with the black and white phrases boldly imprinted on the soles and uppers.
