Gallop into the New Year with a Lucky Stride

This release reimagines the brand’s most enduring silhouettes with an equestrian twist, offering a sophisticated and auspicious way to step into the new year. The collection serves as a perfect fusion of Dr. Martens’ rebellious spirit and the traditional symbolism of the zodiac.

About Dr. Martens “Year of the Horse” collection

The collection focuses on two legendary models: the 1460 8-eye boot and the 1461 3-eye shoe. The design draws heavy inspiration from equestrian aesthetics, featuring harness-style straps and heavy-duty antique gold hardware that evoke the look of classic horse tack.

A standout feature is the material contrast. The uppers combine Dr. Martens’ signature Smooth Leather with patches of hair-on hide, mimicking the texture of a horse’s coat for a tactile, luxurious finish. Die-hard fans will immediately notice a significant color swap: the iconic yellow welt stitching and heel loop have been replaced with a vibrant red—a color symbolizing good luck and prosperity in Lunar New Year culture. These intricate details make for a highly polished release that pays homage to the Year of the Horse while retaining the brand’s tough DNA.
