Dr. Martens works in collaboration with Suicoke on a new iteration of the classic MURA footwear model. It takes the iconic design by Dr. Martens and updates it with elements that are true to the Japanese brand. It retains the usual Lorson outsole foundation.
The MURA silhouette is the perfect design that embodies design aesthetics of both contributing brands and its natural philosophies. It is easy to slip on and off and due to the lightweight foundation, it can be a favorable piece for the summer season. The shoe is complete with the usual epochal yellow welt stitching for tonal contrast. It is offered in the colorway options of either Black Smooth Leather of Black New Vibrance Coco.
