The Zouk x Dr. Martens Custom 1461 Shoes display an impressive selection of footwear and the best part is, it's all for a good cause.
Zouk decided to celebrate their 20th Anniversary by hooking up with Dr. Martens to create 1461 custom shoes from 20 different creative artists. Individuals such as street artist Jahan, Alvin Tan and Japanese DJ Shinichi Osawa all put their creative minds to work for a series of captivating footwear. The Zouk x Dr. Martens Custom 1461 Shoes mainly consist of Dr. Martens' vintage 1461 models decorated in inspiring art pieces that you'll only find here. I especially love the Joy Division shoe, which pays homage to the band's late singer Ian Curtis and the song 'Love Will Tear Us Apart.' All proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
