Dr. Martens x NTS Collab & Curiosity Cafe
This June, Dr. Martens collaborates with NTS to celebrate individuality in all its forms. A bond formed through music. A desire to do things differently. Our new release with Hackney-based online radio station and media platform NTS is a symbol of self-expression.
Driven by their mantra ‘Don’t Assume’ – which was borrowed from a jazz LP released in the 80s – NTS have made a name for themselves since their launch in 2011 as a hub for music that stands apart from the mainstream. The goal? Total music freedom. A space where everyone can show up as they are, with zero rules.
With over 6 decades of experience at the feet of subcultures, taking our wearers through protests, festivals and everyday rebellion, we’ve written pages in the alternative history books. This legacy to non-conformity is mirrored by NTS in their anti-ordinary aesthetic that celebrates creativity, fluidity and authenticity..
Joined by a mutual desire to challenge limits and expectations, the DM’s x NTS collaboration sees our cult classic 1461 Smooth Leather Oxford shoe undergo a bold refresh. By printing their legendary mantra on the shoe, we’ve created a standout silhouette that emboldens its wearers. Fights back against stereotypes. And is the ultimate badge of personal empowerment.
The collaboration will release via Dr. Martens and select retailers on June 22.
