Dr. Martens Futura Laboratories 1460

True to his name and unrelentingly forward-thinking, Futura carved out a parallel creative path in the 1980s — alongside his work on canvas that saw him exhibited alongside contemporaries like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Lee Quinones and Rammellzee. In 1981, he went on tour with punk icons The Clash and painted large backdrops live on stage while the band played. Futura later designed album packaging for The Clash, appeared in their music videos and recorded a single with the band as an MC. Dr. Martens has partnered with FUTURA LABORATORIES for two innovative twists on the iconic 1460 boot — a tribute to a career defined by a punk attitude that embodies the Dr. Martens's spirit.

Up first in this two-part collaboration is a design that celebrates Futura's integral roots in art. Built from black Nappa leather, the 1460 EMB FUTURA boot is embroidered with artwork that immortalises the defiance of graffiti - based on Futura's hand style. This monochrome version of Dr. Martens's most disruptive silhouette has rebellion laced into every stitch — with black eyelets and welt stitching to contrast Futura's bold white embroidery. The 1460 EMB FUTURA also features a black and yellow heel-loop and a dual-branded sock liner and stands on a smoke sole.
