"Together, the two brands have transformed footwear into a powerful statement of rebellion, craftsmanship, and countercultural identity. Following their acclaimed collaboration in March 2024, the duo returns this fall with another genre-defining collection - one that fuses Owens' architectural intensity with Dr. Martens' iconic punk heritage. This latest release doesn't just revisit familiar silhouettes; it reimagines them through a gothic lens, delivering a lineup of boots that feel equal parts armor and art."
"The collection, set to launch on October 16, encapsulates Owens' fascination with monumental proportions and stark minimalism. The designer once again turns to Dr. Martens' foundational forms as a canvas, infusing them with a sense of ritualistic grandeur. The result is a trilogy of footwear that commands attention - the 1860 Pentalace Boot, the 1460 Megalace Boot, and the Steel Toe Boot - each redefined through Owens' unmistakable design language."
"Rick Owens has built his career on an aesthetic that thrives in contrast - elegance and aggression, refinement and rawness, form and void. That same duality runs through this latest collaboration. Each pair is constructed from black Republic leather, a supple yet durable material known for its deep matte finish. The choice of material alone feels deliberate - tactile, unyielding, and quietly luxurious."
The fall collection launching October 16 fuses Rick Owens' architectural intensity with Dr. Martens' punk heritage to reimagine classic silhouettes through a gothic lens. Three boots — the 1860 Pentalace, 1460 Megalace, and Steel Toe — present monumental proportions and stark minimalism while retaining Dr. Martens' foundational forms. Each pair is built from black Republic leather with a deep matte finish, conveying tactility and durability. The 1860 Pentalace stretches knee-high, pairs a towering, sculptural structure with the Quad sole for balance, and features a crossed Megalace lattice of oversized laces as a dramatic, ritualistic motif.
