Dr. Martens x Stussy “The Hambleton”


Last time Dr. Marten and Stussy were together, the fling ended with the classy Tyler Boot. Now that the flame is burning again, we step things up a bit with The Hambleton. Packing a reinforced EVA wedge sole, The Hambleton come in either navy, ecru, or black. The uppers are all made of canvas and the silhouette looks to be inspired by tennis shoes.

Look for these to hit Stussy retail locations in March.

For Kobe, the colorway is one of many that will be releasing that took direct influence from the people throughout history that he has looked up to. “We have some different people that have been inspirational to me,” Kobe explained during an interview for Sole Collector’s upcoming Issue 32.

“We all have had dreams, goals or aspirations, and have met resistance in one form or fashion. Those are people that I draw inspiration from, so we used those with the different colors of the shoe, [like] the Bruce Lee shoe.”
