Heart-Branded Punk-Inspired Footwear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Lazy Oaf and Dr. Martens Joined for a Three-Piece Capsule

— August 15, 2017 — Fashion
The new Lazy Oaf and Dr. Martens capsule collection is made up of two different footwear silhouettes and a bag that's made to match.

On Dr. Martens' '1491' model, the independent illustration and graphic label includes the slogan "DON'T CARE" on the backs of the heels in white lettering, as well as a series of small red hearts which decorate the black leather uppers. The 1491 is finished off with a thick gripped sole, which is brought out with Dr. Martens' classic yellow stitching. The bag from the collection matches the designs on the 1491 model as well, with its bold heart shape that has the same red hearts decorating it.

The revised 'Jungle Boot' model features a similarly cynical slogan on the backs of its heels, with "MY LIFE IS BORING" written on both boots. Rather than red hearts, the boots are accents by leather lace detailing.
