For many of us, that first pair of Dr. Martens signified our first steps toward embracing some form of rebellion. No, the shoes didn’t make you a rebel, it was more so the fact that all of your subversive heroes wore them. They were part of an unofficial uniform that warned of caution ahead. The inherent militant look gave off an unmistakable sense of danger that was only accentuated by the types who wore them. The cool kids in the grades above you had them, and that made you excited. The ones who skipped class wore them too, and that made you slightly nervous.

From the heavy-hearted, dark and disenchanted, to the heavy-handed, angry and angsty, whether you wore makeup or flannel, sported mohawks or long hair, every social strata on the fringe would eventually be sporting Docs. Goths, new wavers, no wavers, fans of glam, ska, grunge, had all adopted them as part of their scene’s defining garb and pushed the shoe’s popularity into another generation.

Now it's Bodega's turn with their take on Dr. Marten's iconic 1461 silhouette. Adding a composite toe box and dual branding on the insole, Bodega's now signature slogan "Hidden in Plain Sight" is debossed on the side.
