The newest creation from Yohji Yamamoto and Dr. Martens, a new ideal form of 8-hole boots.

Yohji Yamamoto is known as a genuine Dr. Martens lover. He first wore the brand's shoes exactly 40 years ago, in 1981, when Yohji Yamamoto made its sensational debut at the Paris Collections and made its name known around the world. Later, in the 2000s, Yohji Yamamoto had its models wear the brand's shoes, which were also used on the runway. Today, the brand has become an indispensable part of Yohji Yamamoto's worldview, with repeated collaborations every season.

The latest collaboration between the two companies focuses on Dr. Martens' classic 8-hole boot. At first glance, the black upper with the iconic yellow stitching and heel loop looks no different from the original model, but the new pair is designed for ease of wear rather than appearance.

TARIAN BOOTS
SIZE: 26-30cm ¥78,100

The first is the material used for the upper. The first is the material used for the upper, which is not the usual smooth leather, but a soft smooth matte leather that is more comfortable for the foot. The second is the outsole, called "TARIAN," which is Dr. Martens' newest lightweight yet sturdy sole that is more flexible and comfortable than the usual ones.

Other details that cannot be overlooked are the eyelets, which have been changed to triangular ones, and the "Yohji Yamamoto" logo embossed on the side of the boots.

The sale will start on Wednesday, July 14. In addition to the Dr. Martens stores in Aoyama, Harajuku, and WITH Harajuku, they will also be available at Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme stores nationwide and online. The Dr. Martens online store will begin selling the shoes on Saturday, July 17 at 12:00 noon.

A pair that could become a new icon of Yohji Yamamoto. Fans should definitely check them out.
