In 2023, this tradition continues with the release of a three-part collection. A centerpiece for this venture is the classic Made In England 1461 3-eye shoe silhouette. The footwear has a leathery matte upper and it features "Undercover’s recognizable checkered pattern." On the exterior heel, one may glimpse a playful slogan stating “WE MAKE NOISE NOT CLOTHES." The shoe will be available in three colorways, including Cherry, Red, and Blue. For this Undercover x Dr. Martens collaboration, designer Jun Takahashi draws inspiration from the aesthetics of 70s film. The brands reinforce this through the packaging as well. Each pair "will be delivered in custom packaging to round out the cinematic experience."
