1461 3-Eye Smooth Leather Oxford
About the original
The Dr. Martens 1461 is a three-eyelet Goodyear-welted Oxford introduced on April 1, 1961 in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, exactly one year after the 1460 boot. It uses the company's signature Smooth leather upper, yellow welt stitch, and grooved, air-cushioned AirWair sole, and was originally cut as a factory-floor shoe before being adopted by British subcultures through the 1970s and 1980s. The FW17 Supreme collaboration applies an embroidered Sacred Heart emblem to the lateral side of the upper in black, green, and oxblood. The Sacred Heart graphic was a FW17 motif that ran across the season's Schott jacket, tees, and accessories; produced for Supreme only.
About Dr. Martens
Dr. Martens is a British footwear brand whose air-cushioned sole was invented in 1947 by Dr. Klaus Maertens and Dr. Herbert Funck in Seeshaupt, Germany, after Maertens rebuilt his army boots with a rubber sole made from reclaimed tires. R. Griggs Group of Northamptonshire bought the UK patent rights in 1959 and produced the eight-eyelet 1460 boot in cherry-red smooth leather on April 1, 1960, at its Cobbs Lane factory in Wollaston. The 1461 shoe and 2976 Chelsea followed. Permira acquired the company in 2014 and floated it on the LSE in 2021. Supreme has collaborated with Dr. Martens on co-branded 1460 boots and Chelsea silhouettes.
