Attitude that rubs off on you — Dr. Martens® and Supreme® show their colors with a new collaboration centered around Rub Off leather.
The latest installment of Dr. Martens’ long-running partnership with Supreme sees two new versions of the classic 1461 3-eye shoe rebuilt in color-shifting hi-shine rub off leathers. The campaign images feature Ben Kadow and Kyle Teh and were captured by Jiro Konami.
The new collection utilises distinctive Arcadia and Rub Off leathers with a naturally worn appearance, which reveal hidden colors that become more prominent with repeated wear. The 1461 shoe is available in black and silver Arcadia leather or multi-color Rub Off leather, which transforms from red to green to blue.
The black shoe comes with black laces, while the red shoe comes with tonal red laces. Both are built on a black DMS sole, marked with our classic grooving pattern, and secured with black welt stitching. The heels are marked with debossed branding.

The first pair of Dr. Martens boots rolled off the production line on the 1st April 1960. With its trademark yellow stitch, grooved sole and heel-loop, it was a boot for workers, initially worn by postmen and policemen; comfortable, durable and lightweight in comparison to its competitors at the time.
Throughout Dr. Martens history, the brand has been adopted and subverted by diverse individuals, musicians, youth cultures and tribes. These are the people who stand out from the crowd and their journey of self-expression has always been accompanied by a pair of DM’s boots or shoes.
The simple silhouette allows people to customise each pair; whilst on a utilitarian level their famous durability and comfort make them ideal footwear for the world of gigs and street fashion. On an emotional level, they are a flag of attitude and empowerment.
The Northamptonshire factory where it all began still exists to this day, in the village of Wollaston. A specific range of ‘Made In England’ products are manufactured here by a small, close-knit team of people schooled in traditional shoe-making and a process that hasn’t changed since our first pair six decades ago.
