Dr.Martens

For their SS21 offering Dr.Martens are expanding their sandals collection with three new and updated design collections.

The Zebrilus collection has been given a dynamic revamp in the form of three new sandals: the Voss II, Voss II Fluffy and the Olson. Standing on a super-light Ziggy sole, they’re as robust as they are lightweight. The Voss II sandals are constructed from smooth Hydro leather with Gunmetal buckles, while the Voss II Fluffy stands out in faux fur. The Olson is built with a brand-new gladiator-style upper, made from Milled Nappa leather.

The Shore collection features the Gryphon and Clarissa II sandals, reworked in metallic leather and fitted with matching silver nickel buckles and rivets. In addition both sandals are welted on a tough-yet-light Shore DMS sole and marked by Dr.Martens signature DNA: yellow welt stitching and a black and yellow heel loop.

For their Vegan collection, Dr.Martens Voss Sandal goes leather-free, instead using a synthetic Oxford material. As well as new addition, the Vegan Clarissa II sandal in a high-shine synthetic Oxford material. The vegan sandals are finished with a yellow and natural heel loop and yellow welt stitching.

Converse X Kim Jones

• 

• 

Kim Jones debut Converse collection refashions the classic Chuck 70 with accompanying apparel. Honouring the values of Converse’s brand DNA whilst looking to the future, Jones reflects on the archetypes of contemporary streetwear, delivering a contemporary perspective. Experimenting with the classic’s distinctive lines, Jones says “The design approach for the shoe was very straight forward — taking a very classic shoe and then almost encasing it in something to protect it,”

Completing the collection are four garments: a Parka, Crewneck Sweatshirt, Cargo Pant, and T-Shirt. “There’s an easy look to each of the pieces,” says Jones. “I wanted each to be a modern version of the ‘Take Ivy’ vibe.”
