London jeweler The Great Frog is the latest to work in collaboration with Dr. Martens on a new collection of footwear. The jewelry brand has been a staple in the city since 1972 and has an extensive history in the realm of rock, making it the perfect brand to join forces with Dr. Martens.
Together, the two drop two new boots -- this includes the 1460 TGF and the Jadon TGF boot. Both of these are detailed with metal hardware accents to enhance the silhouette. The 1460 TGF boasts custom silver detailing for some contrast and is made from supple black Oily Illusion leather materials with branding nodding to the Great Frog debossed on the outer quarter. The Jadon TGF is also made from the same material and has branded straps for a punk-informed look.
