Since his birth in the UK, Dr. Martin has continued to walk with music and culture.
Based on the iconic 8-hole boot “1460” and 3-hole shoe “1461”, the Japan-exclusive “1460 BEX ZIP” and “1461 BEX” silhouette “THE GREY STITCH” will be available.
With a silhouette with a BEX (mid-thick sole) sole derived from the brand’s iconic silhouette and more chic gray stitching, the GREY STITCH is a special specification that pays homage to Japan’s fashion sensibilities and craftsmanship.
The “monochrome aesthetic” that is different from the global collection and combines sophistication and calmness has been completed here. Staying authentic and constantly creating new value – the collection is a symbol of that spirit.
The story of Dr. Martin began with “THE 1460 BOOT” born in 1960. Subcultures, music, streets – the iconic boots that have supported them all – this season will create new value under the theme of “return to the origins and evolution”.
The visual campaign, which featured Suchmos’ vocalist YONCE, reinterpreted the brand’s spirit with a modern sensibility with the message “To those who create new value while cherishing the past.”
The photographer of this collection is Tomokazu Yamada, who is highly regarded both domestically and internationally as a filmmaker and photographer.
His works have been exhibited not only in music videos, commercials, and video works, but also in fashion magazines and art photography exhibitions, and are characterized by their expressions that capture realistic urban landscapes and layers of deep memory. Dr. Martin’s theme of “creating new value while cherishing the past” is consistent with Yamada’s approach to visualizing “time, memory, and place”.
The campaign visual will be released from November 28th (Friday), with a new gorgeous cast taken by Tomokazu Yamada.
As a holiday self-expression, the collaboration between brands and creators is here and now.
In addition, Dr. Martin will be hosting a gorgeous free live event suitable for the HOLIDAY season.
A special one-night-only event where music, style, and self-expression intersect. To celebrate the brand’s origin, “ICONS”, we will hold the biggest celebration live of the holiday season.

ABOUT DR. MARTENS
Dr. Martin’s iconic boot, “THE 1460 BOOT”, was first created in the UK on April 1, 1960. With their trademark yellow welt stitching, rounded upper, grooved sole and unique outsole turn, the boots were used as work boots for workers at the time. Since then, Dr. Martin’s boots and shoes have become symbols of self-expression and strength, making their way into the subculture scene, including artists, activists, and musicians. Its versatile design, durability, and comfort continue to adorn the world of live performances, music scenes, and street fashion, and are a beacon of empowerment. Traditional shoemaking continues while stubbornly adhering to the craftsmanship that has remained unchanged since 1960. Official Instagram: @drmartens_japan (#DrMartens#ドクターマーチン)
