Get ready for an exclusive fashion collaboration that's about to shake things up! Marc Jacobs and Dr. Martens are back with a bang, and this time, they're taking the iconic Kiki boot to new heights of style and edginess.
The Kiki boot, a Marc Jacobs signature, has been a celebrity favorite since its debut in 2016. With its bold block heel and unique vertical strap design, it's a statement piece that exudes confidence and attitude. But here's where it gets controversial: Dr. Martens, known for their utilitarian and punk-inspired footwear, is putting their own spin on this iconic boot.
Dr. Martens is bringing their signature touches to the Kiki boot, including their distinctive Corran-heeled sole and laddered silver buckles. They've even added custom lock-and-key charms, a nod to the brands' past collaborations. The result? A fusion of Marc Jacobs' playful sensibility and Dr. Martens' rebellious spirit, creating a boot that's both familiar and fresh.
Priced at $290, the reimagined Kiki boot will be available in three distinct styles: Black, Bright Lavender, and a Black Croc-Embossed Analine. And if you're a fan of the Croc Emboss Leather look, you'll want to head over to marcjacobs.com, as it's an exclusive offering on their site.
Michael Ford, senior category manager at Dr. Martens, shared his excitement about the collaboration: "We're thrilled to continue our partnership with Marc Jacobs. For this project, we drew inspiration from the iconic Kiki Boot and infused it with our unique Dr. Martens DNA, creating a one-of-a-kind boot that embodies the attitude of both brands."
The Kiki boot has become a fashion staple, making its way into the wardrobes of numerous celebrities. Teyana Taylor, for instance, has been spotted rocking the Kiki boot on multiple occasions, including at the NikeSkims launch event in New York and the "One Battle After Another" premiere in Los Angeles. Other stars like Cynthia Erivo, Lady Gaga, Ice Spice, and FKA Twigs have also embraced this daring style.
This isn't the first time Marc Jacobs and Dr. Martens have joined forces. In 2018, they collaborated on a grunge-inspired take on Dr. Martens' 1490 boot, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Marc Jacobs' spring 1993 runway show for Perry Ellis. The brands have also worked on the Dr. Martens Jadon platform boot, adding their own unique chains and charms.
And if you thought that was all, think again! Dr. Martens has also collaborated with Heaven by Marc Jacobs, the brand's youth-oriented subline, dropping multiple collections that cater to a younger, trend-forward audience.
