As part of its Fall/Winter 2015 collection, New York skatewear brand Supreme is releasing several pairs of Doc Martens x Supreme shoes in a never-before-seen color choice.
The Supreme shoes are a collaborative effort with Doc Martens, and will feature both brand logos. Under Supreme's design influence, the iconic shoe of punk subculture is getting a makeover. The Supreme shoes will come in oxblood and black -- standard Doc Martens colors -- but they will also be available in a unique, 70s-inspired baby blue. The blue colorway caused a lot of excitement when it first appeared in the Supreme Fall/Winter 2015 lookbook.
Aside from the completely original color choice, the Supreme shoes will be pretty much identical to classic Doc Martens, with a polished but notoriously edgy look. They will be available in the 4-Eye Shoe and 6-Eye Boot styles.
