A-COLD-WALL* Collaborates with Dr. Martens to Redesign the 1461 Oxford Shoe with Utilitarian Details

Drawing inspiration from the architectural elements that characterize the working-class heritage of Britain.

September 16, 2024

The longstanding partnership between British label A-COLD-WALL* by Samuel Ross and Dr. Martens continues to flourish, as they unveil their latest collaboration for Spring/Summer 2023 - a reimagined version of the iconic 1461 Oxford shoe.

This collaboration celebrates the shared journey of A-COLD-WALL* and Dr. Martens, revisiting the model that marked the beginning of their successful Fall/Winter 2021 partnership. The silhouette boasts a distinct utilitarian aesthetic, reflecting Samuel Ross's design language, and is presented in a sleek combination of black and grey tones.

Crafted from water-resistant and tumbled nubuck, the 1461 Oxford shoe draws inspiration from the architectural motifs that embody the working-class heritage of Britain. The uppers feature metal rivets above the toe boxes and at the rear, while the traditional lacing systems are replaced with functional zippers. ACW*'s signature linear logo is pressed into the heel counters alongside the standard AirWear pull tabs. The design is completed with co-branded insoles, semi-translucent rubber outsoles, and tinted stitching.

Get a closer look at the collaboration between A-COLD-WALL* and Dr. Martens' 1461 Oxford shoe above. Both pairs will be available for purchase on March 25th and 26th through the respective brands' official channels as well as select retailers.
