Collaborations between brands that mix tradition with innovation often yield some of the most memorable footwear. In recent memory, Japanese outdoor label nanamica has left its imprint on numerous partnerships in the sneaker industry, making headlines. They are back at it with a familiar partner, the iconic Dr. Martens, a brand known for its robust and stylish boots. As they gear up to drop their fourth collaboration, fans eagerly await what the duo has up their sleeves, especially after their previous successful joint ventures.
This collaboration sees a pivot towards simplicity with the blacked-out versions of the Louis Slip On and the Graeme Slip On Boot. These silhouettes retain timeless appeal but are subtly infused with nanamica's modern touch. The black leather upper serves as a base, while neoprene detailing around the collar adds a contemporary feel to the classic look. Dr. Martens branding on the pull tab comes in an accenting blue shade. The design is rounded off by the signature Air Wair-cushioned sole unit, highlighted by blue accent stitching and a semi-translucent rubber outsole for enhanced durability and traction.
The nanamica x Dr. Martens Pack will release October 20, 2023, through nanamica, Dr. Martens, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the Louis Slip On is priced at $150, while the Graeme Slip On Boot is available for $180.
