Dr. Martens has released a new 'City Pack' that captures the essence of four iconic cities: New York, London, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, following a partnership with Heaven by Marc Jacobs. Dr. Martens newest '1461' Oxford colorways are reworked with color blocking, typography, and bespoke hardware.
The 1461 'New York' incorporates a blend of smooth yellow and black leathers as a reference to the city's taxis. The backstrap features a Big Apple logo, and the custom laces have an "NYC" charm. Graphic prints of the California sunset with rows of palm trees and dreamy purple and orange colors are featured on the 1461 'Los Angeles' pairs. The 1461 'Tokyo' has a monochrome design inspired by Shibuya Crossing, the world's busiest crosswalk. The 1461 'London,' created in colors of black and grey to match the city's architecture, completes the collection.
