The Doc Is In
Iconic British shoe brand expands into four new stores this June
As the public grows ever more attune with their style , a number of sartorial trends have been experiencing resurgence . Among which is the boot trend and one brand that easily comes into everyone ’ s mind is Dr . Martens .
On the first of April , 1960 , the first pair of Dr . Martens boot rolled off the Cobbs Lane Factory ’ s production line in Wollaston , England – giving it its iconic name , the 1460 boot . What once was originally created for workers , from postmen to the police , Dr . Martens became increasingly popular amid characters of a rebellious nature , subculture vultures , musicians , and artists – contributing to the brand ’ s legacy of being a symbol of individuality and dynamic self-expression .
This season , trend seekers and stylephiles would be delighted to know that Dr . Martens is slated to launch four new stores as an answer to the growing clamor for its timeless products , namely Dr . Martens Glorietta , Dr .
Martens SM Mall of Asia , Dr . Martens SM The Block , and Dr . Martens SM Megamall – all of which will officially open its doors to everyone this June .
As Dr . Martens increases its presence , longtime wearers and those who are yet to own a pair can now enjoy an easier and wider access to the brand ’ s vast range of styles . Due to its unfazed popularity , the manufacturing process of Dr . Martens boot has since been fine-tuned and perfected . With that said , Dr . Martens Originals , a line that features the brand ’ s iconic styles such as the 3989 Brogue , the Adrian Tassel loafer , the Church Monkey boot , the 2976 Chelsea boot , the 1490 and 1914 boots , and the Polley T-bar shoe , may all be found at any Dr . Martens store . Yet to date , a select range of “ Made in England ” products are still manufactured in the original Cobbs Lane factory and also made available in select outlets .
Trends may come and go , but unique style and individuality are here to stay – as proven by the transcendent nature of Dr . Martens .
