About the original
The Supreme x Dr. Martens Split Toe 5-Eye Shoe is a derby built on the Dr. Martens 2046 last, a five-eyelet archive silhouette from the 1960s with a tapered almond toe and the brand's AirWair cushioned PVC sole. The SS21 collab added apron-style split-toe stitching across the vamp and arrived in three colorways: vintage smooth black, vintage smooth orange, and pony-hair zebra. Dr. Martens was founded in 1960 in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, where the 2046 is still assembled on the original factory's Goodyear-welt tooling. Retail was $178. Dr. Martens' standard 2046 Vintage Smooth Leather Oxford (no split-toe stitching) retails for $140 at drmartens.com — same last, same sole, same leather.
