British shoe brand Dr. Martens has unveiled its new collaboration with Japanese clothing brand A BATHING APE. Clothing brand A BATHING APE, also known as BAPE, was founded by designer Nigo in Ura-Harajuku in 1993. Since then BAPE has garnered a cult following around the world and their playful designs have spawned a legion of die-hard fans. The logo is inspired by the original Planet of the Apes movies and their iconic camo print has been used to transform the Dr. Martens 1460 boot and 1461 shoe.

The 1460, named after the date of its creation, 1 April, 1960, is synonymous with punk, ska and grunge music as well as being adopted as a symbol of rebellious self-expression. This version features the famous BAPE camo embossed into smooth leather. Finished with air-cushioned soles.

1461, originally sold as a durable working man’s shoe, the 1460 is worn as a statement of self-expression. This version features the famous BAPE camo embossed into smooth leather. Finished with our tough AirWair soles.

The collection will be availble to buy from Dr. Matrens stores from 27 January
