Designer Yohji Yamamoto works in collaboration with Dr. Martens to introduce the all-new Temperley Twisted boot silhouette. The shoes are constructed from black leather materials throughout the upper and embody an avant garde design language. The duo have worked together once before and join once again on a design that is truer to the aesthetics of Yamamoto.
The boot boasts an asymmetrical design as the boots look as if it is twisted around, referenced in the namesake. The medial side of the shoe is made from soft grain leather materials and morph into the lateral area to come together at the top of the boot. The placket eyestay panel is the area that is warped supported with a full length zipper at the medial.
