Dr. Martens launches its 14XX Protect Pack

A mutant offspring founded on the concept that “innovation is deviance” by exploring alternative futures for traditional DM silhouettes. 14XX is the space where Dr. Martens subverts the possibilities of the brand’s iconography and design language. A mutant offspring founded on the concept that “innovation is deviance” by exploring alternative futures for traditional DM silhouettes. The latest experiment in DM’s boundary-pushing 14XX category, it explores the nature of protection through an industrial lens.

The second release in the 14XX line continues to distort the brand’s DNA and legacy through its three most iconic silhouettes: the 1460 boot, the 1461 shoe, and the 2976 Chelsea boot. Inspired by its history of industrial workwear, the Protect Pack contextualizes reinforced design technologies for forward-thinking wearers seeking an exaggerated aesthetic.

It’s constructed from water-resistant full-grain Tailgate leather and supple Orleans leather, along with maximilist rubber lace guards over the vamp and steel toe cap, all in black. Additionally, the fortification is completed with abrasion-resistant TecTuff heel counters, balanced with a monochromatic camo RipStop collar and a comfort-focused SoftWair sockliner. All of this is mounted on a unique sole that elevates, distorts, and remixes the classic DM sole, secured with a serrated welt stitching and featuring an exposed yellow interior.

La bota 1460 Protect y el zapato 1461 Protect vienen equipados con herrajes monocromáticos negros y cordones reflectantes. La bota 2976 Protect rechaza el clásico elástico lateral en favor de cremalleras en el lado interior y exterior del tobillo. Todas las piezas están terminadas con un par de tiradores de talón en contraste. La campaña explora entornos hiperrealistas inspirados en los mundos digitales que ofrecen la protección para explorar la identidad, jugar con la autoexpresión y retorcer la realidad.
