Marc Jacobs and Dr. Martens are joining forces once again to reinvent the iconic Kiki Boot, a style that has become a signature of Marc Jacobs' edgy and playful designs. This exclusive collaboration brings together the utilitarian and rugged aesthetic of Dr. Martens with the bold and statement-making nature of the Kiki Boot, creating a unique and highly anticipated collection. The result? A fresh take on a beloved fashion staple, offering a blend of practicality and Marc Jacobs' signature flair.
The Kiki Boot, first introduced on the Marc Jacobs fall 2016 runway, has since become a fashion favorite, known for its striking block heel and edgy vertical design featuring buckled straps. Dr. Martens is now adding its signature touch with the Corran-heeled sole, laddered silver buckles, and custom lock-and-key charms, paying homage to their past collaborations. This reimagined style is set to retail for $290 and will be available in three eye-catching colorways: Black, Bright Lavender, and Black Croc-Embossed Analine. The Black Croc-Embossed Analine style, in particular, is an exclusive offering on marcjacobs.com.
This collaboration marks a significant moment in fashion, as it showcases the evolution of the Kiki Boot over the years, with various heights, colors, and materials. The boot has already made a bold statement on the red carpet and in the streets, with celebrities like Teyana Taylor, who wore both black and gray versions at recent events, and other notable figures such as Cynthia Erivo, Lady Gaga, Ice Spice, and FKA Twigs. These stars have embraced the daring design, making it a staple in their wardrobes for various occasions.
The history of collaboration between Marc Jacobs and Dr. Martens is a testament to their successful partnership. In 2018, they celebrated the 25th anniversary of Marc Jacobs' spring 1993 runway show for Perry Ellis with a grunge-inspired reinvention of the Dr. Martens 1490 boot. Additionally, they have collaborated on the Jadon platform boot, adorned with chains and charms, and have released multiple collections with Heaven by Marc Jacobs, a youth-oriented subline launched in 2020. This latest collaboration is a natural extension of their shared vision and commitment to pushing boundaries in fashion.
