Although Dr. Martens has built its legacy as a go-to for boots, it’s hardly been considered rugged material- until now. With their latest collaboration with thisisneverthat, Dr. Martens is taking its classic styles and giving it a tough upgrade. Donning a new look each, these are far from the fresh and sleek new boots you’ve grown accustomed to. These new workwear boots are made to be worn out, give your footwear a unique story, and maximize use. Using iconic details from both brands, the latest workwear boots will add style to your everyday looks.

Taking on the classic Dr. Martens 1460 and 1461 designs, thisisneverthat adds a dash of wear and tear that gives the design a rugged touch. The Dr. Martens 1460 boot uses a waxed full-grain leather upper complete with an oily texture that gives the illusion of a worn boot. Also containing natural wrinkles, scratches, and scars, these boots have the look of an already well-lived life. Antique brass hardware, flecked hiker-style laces, and an AirWair heel loop finish the design for an all-around rugged workwear boot.

As for the 1461, this low-top design follows a similar style of pre-worn texture using Wyoming leather with natural scars and scratches. Using antique silver hardware and flecked hiker-style laces, this silhouette offers a similarly worn aesthetic that adds a rugged touch to your wardrobe. Both designs come with a BEN outsole and Dr. Martens’ recognizable yellow stitch. Each design includes co-branded sock liners and debossed leather for a customized touch. Fans looking to get their hands on either design will be limited to one pair each and can purchase via thisisneverthat’s web store. Prices range between $150-$180 and come with a co-branded packaging for an added touch.

adidas releases new Samba colorway

silver and red adidas samba

There’s zero doubt that the adidas Samba has been the ultimate sneaker for the last couple of seasons, and there’s no doubt it will continue to reign for more. Part of this shoe’s charm comes from the numerous collaborations and remixes the sneaker has undergone, allowing it to maintain its popularity. While there will surely be more Samba collaborations, the latest release comes from adidas and packs a metallic punch. Using two shinier colorways, the adidas Samba gets a fun and disco-inspired new look for the season. Ideal for the boldest dressers, the metallic colorways add a fascinating pop of color and the depth of a unique texture. While it might not be the simplest go-to sneaker, it’s certainly an interesting option for those unafraid of some shine.
adidas Samba LT “Metallic Pack”

Although the release of a new “Metallic Pack” brings about new colors, the overall design of your favorite sneaker remains the same. With the traditional soccer-inspired details of a fold-over tongue and slim silhouette, the adidas Samba’s upgrades are purely superficial. Adidas has reimagined the sneaker with premium synthetic leather uppers with a metallic finish in the two colorways. Users will have the option to choose from a silver or gold metallic finish. The traditional gum rubber sole remains on the sneaker for extra traction and protection. On the silver iteration of the shoe, “Pre-Rub” accents add a dose of red to the sneaker. The gold version of the shoe will come with adidas’ signature “Core Black” accents to highlight the metallic finish. Both colorways will retail for $120 each and will be available on March 1 via adidas’ webstore. Although the sneaker isn’t a versatile neutral, the fun metallic finish adds a shiny edge to a traditional shoe.
