Factory work boots and a cushioned sole developed by a medical doctor recuperating from a broken foot seem like an incredibly unlikely starting point for footwear that would become a staple of cutting-edge youth culture.

But why would a shoe synonymous with individualistic style have a story about doing things the usual way? After widespread adoption by subcultures in 1960s England unlocked the fashion potential of their humble work boots, the genie was well and truly out of the bottle and the genre-hopping style of Dr. Martens was born.

The Jorge Slingback Mule is a tribute to Dr. Martens rebellious spirit and rich history of going against the grain. Meticulously handcrafted with attention to detail, it boasts premium Ocelot Print Hair On and is adorned with antique gold buckles, highlighted by the signature yellow welt stitching.
