In a fusion of avant-garde fashion and iconic British footwear, Rick Owens extends his collaborative streak with Dr. Martens in 2024, following the celebrated launch of the 1460 DMXL Mega Lace earlier in the year. Owens, renowned for his distinctive approach to design that combines high fashion with edgy streetwear, brings a new level of artistic expression to Dr. Martens' enduring legacy. This partnership has consistently captivated the fashion world, blending Rick Owens' signature exaggerated aesthetics with Dr. Martens' rebellious spirit. March 2024 marks the debut of their latest endeavor, the DMXL Pack, featuring the Jumbo Lace Boots and the Calf Length Boots.
This new collection showcases a meticulous blend of Rick Owens' boundary-pushing design and Dr. Martens' classic craftsmanship. The Jumbo Lace and Calf Length boots are crafted from premium black tumbled leather, embodying the robust, gothic elegance synonymous with Owens' designs. Metallic Silver accents on the zipper and eyestays add a striking contrast, while the boots remain subtly branded, allowing the silhouette and quality materials to speak for themselves.
Notably, the pack forgoes overt Rick Owens branding, featuring the familiar Dr. Martens' AirWair pull tab, a nod to the brand's heritage. The standout feature of both boots is the DMXL sole unit, an amplified version of Dr. Martens' iconic air-cushioned sole, complete with signature yellow stitching. This bold reinterpretation enhances the visual impact and reinforces the collaboration's blend of fashion-forward design and functional durability.
The Rick Owens x Dr. Martens DMXL Pack will release on March 7, 2024, through Rick Owens, Dr. Martens, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the Jumbo Lace Boots are priced at $405, while the Calf Length Boots will retail for $470.
