Deadstock-Derived Footwear Collections

Highly respected British shoe brand Dr Martens has launched a brand new footwear collection that makes use of unsold and excess materials that may otherwise have made their way into the landfill, resulting in shoes that contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy whilst also bearing unique aesthetics.

The 'Made in England Deadstock' footwear collection comprises shoes that combine different kinds of leather from various sources in the company's product chain. By leveraging the craftsmanship of highly gifted leather experts, Dr. Martens is managing to breathe new life into these excess materials while creating one-of-a-kind shoes. The collection also represents a continuation of the company's partnership with Sweden-based upcycling experts 'Our Legacy.'

By utilizing different varieties of cowhide, these shoes occupy a rustic yet classy aesthetic that is at once fashionable while showcasing undeniable eco-friendly credentials.
