The Underground x Dr Martens FW 2011 Collection has the former putting a bit of spin on the latter's [classic 1460 boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-leather-boot) for the upcoming release. Two models will be available for this series. The first is a simple, black, all-leather high-top that while subtle, looks incredibly badass. The second is the same, except for the fact that it features a strap on the top that's been embedded with a series of studs for more of a [punk rock feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-x-metallica). Both styles also feature a zip-up design right in between where the laces lock. Owning a pair may change your mind about walking in the winter.
