Everyone loves a classic.
Dominic Fike is showing love to the iconic Dr. Martens 1460 boot by way of a new collaboration with the brand. As part of his partnership with Dr. Martens, Fike curated a selection of his favorites styles from the brand for fans to channel his rocker aesthetic.
Earlier this month, the 28-year-old Euphoria star took to Instagram to share a video of himself paying tribute to Dr. Martens while rocking a pair of 1460 boots. In addition to serenading his 3.2 million followers with his guitar, Fike also wrote a special poem for the Dr. Martens boot, which he included in the caption.
“I love these shoes,” the poem starts. “I’ve been known to fall in love with women who love these shoes. One time I was actually dumped in these shoes, it hurt less. Or maybe it hurt just the same and I walked it off. Either way, that’s a good shoe.”
The Dr. Martens 1460 boot was introduced on April 1, 1960. The popular boot, which takes its name from its release date, became synonymous with punk-rock fashion.
Pete Townshend of The Who was one of the first rock stars to wear Dr. Martens 1460 boots on stage. Other rockers such as Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols, Billy Bragg and The Clash’s Joe Strummer were early fans of Dr. Martens.
Gwen Stefani, Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, Lil Nas X and Miley Cyrus are some of the many celebrities who have slid into a pair of Dr. Martens. The brand carries boots, platforms, sandals and bags.
Fike’s Dr. Martens picks include the 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boot ($170), the 1460 Waxed Full Grain Leather Boot ($170) and Polly Smooth Leather Mary Janes ($140).
