Dr. Martens has launched a “Year of the Snake” capsule to mark Lunar New Year 2024. This limited-edition collection reimagines the iconic 1460, 1461 boot and Adrian loafer, incorporating serpentine motifs that celebrate the zodiac’s themes of transformation and renewal. Crafted with intricate snake-embossed leather and gold accents, the designs pay homage to the Lunar New Year’s cultural significance while maintaining Dr. Martens’ signature edge.
The British footwear brand presents a refreshed take on its classic designs with a Lunar New Year-inspired collection. The iconic 1460 lace-up boot features full-grain leather with a diamond embossing effect on the toe box, complemented by a brown snakeskin-printed strip at the heel counter.
Signature elements like the yellow welt stitching and brown sole remain, while golden snake lace charms add a luxurious finishing touch. Similarly, the 1461 low lace-up shoe is elevated with a snakeskin accent at the heel and a vibrant red sole, symbolizing the lucky hues of the Lunar New Year.
The collection also introduces the Ramsey Creepy shoe, crafted in striking brown-and-black snakeskin-printed leather and adorned with brass metal charms for an expressive look.
Rounding out the range is a vintage-style leather backpack, embossed with a snakeskin texture and embellished with gold hardware and brand word marks, offering a stylish and practical accessory. Together, these pieces celebrate timeless craftsmanship with bold updates inspired by the festive season.
Available now on Dr. Martens’ website and select stores, the Year of the Snake capsule provides a unique way for fans to step into the new year with style and meaning. This collection underscores Dr. Martens’ commitment to celebrating cultural milestones through bold, meaningful design.
