This is the Dr. Martens x Colette 3-Hole 1461. My absolute favorite pair of Dr. Martens. These were released in March 2016, quite some time ago. This collaboration features a black on black polka dot design with some hints of blue. The shoe itself is a classic model and is the most used shoe for collaborations with other brands.


My favorite details of the shoe apart from the obvious polka dots are the blue stitching and the blue logo. Usually the stitching is yellow, so the blue makes a huge difference for me. For me, the slight variations really set these apart from the other Dr. Marten collaborations. As a big fan of Colette, these were the perfect pair for me.

Colette ended up closing their doors in 2017 and is greatly missed by many.
