Established by Doctor Klaus Martin in 1945, "Dr. Martens" have become a fashion staple in today's day and age. He began crafting a unique air-cushioned sole in post-ware Munich, which was the first of it's kind. By trapping air inside the sole, it absorbed shock from walking and provided a "bouncy" walking experience. The design is characterized by it's stitching that circles the sole, quality material, and high functionality. Over the years the shoes have taken on a world of their own appearing in various cultures and fashion hotspots, it's truly a timeless standard.
