Shoe brand Dr. Martens has unveiled the Ambassador Leather collection, which reinterprets some of its products by making them with premium, supple, tumbled leather.
Famed for their toughness, the boots now offer a softer, more comfortable fit.
The Original Dr. Martens 1460 boot, that’s been around since 1960, is remixed in soft, textured finish. The eight-eye boot is now crafted with lightly oiled, durable leather that the company says “gets better with age”. The boot also features the company’s trademark yellow welt stitching and black and yellow heel loop. The upper is 100% leather, the inner is 60% leather and 40% textile, and the renowned bouncing sole forms the foundation of the boot is 100% PVC.
Manufactured since the 1970s, the 2976 Chelsea boot has received the same Ambassador treatment. In this case, the upper is 70% leather and 30% textile, the inner is 60% leather and 40% textile, and the sole is once again 100% PVC.
Both shoes are available in both black and cashew colourways.
Dr. Martens has created Ambassador Leather versions of other products, including the Josef Leather Buckle Sandal Slides, the Adrian Yellow Stitch Loafers, the 8065 Mary Janes, the 101 Ankle Boots, and the 1461 Oxford Shoes.
