Laced high for maximum attitude, the Dr. Martens 1490 stretches the original silhouette to ten eyes and mid-calf. Tough Smooth leather is Goodyear-welted and heat-sealed to the sole, finished with grooved edges, a heel loop and the signature yellow stitch, while the air-cushioned AirWair sole resists oil and abrasion underfoot. A subcultural classic, undimmed.
