Doctor Marten's 50th anniversary

Doctor Marten's 50th Anniversary

The iconic Dr Martens has turned 50 on April this year, celebrating half century of creating fashionable crowds.



Originally, Dr. Klaus Maertens invented the shoe's signature air-cushioned sole in order to improve Germany's standard-issue of army boots in WW II. Later on, Maertens sold his patent in 1959 to a British shoe manufacturer. On April 1, 1960, with the addition the classic yellow stitching and Air wair tag trademark at the back of the boot, the first pair of Dr. Martens hit High Street and still roaming and favourited until this point of time.

In Singapore, the celebration is held with the fashion show at Zouk by Doctor Martens and Fred Perry then followed by the after party.
