Dr. Martens Solves a Common Complaint With Their Ambassador Boots
Once the emblem of counterculture punk rockers and British rebels, Dr. Martens has evolved into stylish, go-to footwear embraced by a broad spectrum of people — from street-savvy trendsetters to bankers, baristas, bass players and anyone looking to inject some attitude into their ensemble. They can now officially be called tried and true, with their iconic air-cushioned sole almost as recognizable as a pair of Classic Chuck Taylors. That status has inspired designers, from Rick Owens to Comme des Garçons, to put their own spin on Doc’s unique silhouette over the years. With their distinctive yellow stitching and trademark soles, Dr. Martens’s easy-on-the-wallet lace-ups are a style staple that’s here to stay.
For a brand to stay relevant, however, it must evolve, and this season Dr. Martens is doing just that.
