Off the back of two super successful collaborations and an ongoing cult-loved status, Heaven by Marc Jacobs is back on Dr. Martens’ collaborative radar as the design duo is teaming up once again to remaster the magical Mary Jane.
As Hypebae reports, the collaboration marks the third time that Heaven by Marc Jacobs and Dr. Martens have joined forces and is born from a shared love and appreciation of those who go against the grain. Previous team-ups resulted in 90s-inspired boots and classic MJs, so the anticipation for the latest collab is palpable.
Last summer, the duo decked out Dr. Martens’ Mary Jane-inspired model with smooth leather uppers and two-headed teddy bear pins. Their next partnership celebrates the same model, enlisting TikTok personality Aliyah (originator of the Aliyahcore brand) to take the grunge collaboration stateside.
Dr. Martens’ Addina Bex shoe is delivered in black and burgundy colorways, crafted in ’90s velvet with exposed bridges. Throat straps boast silver hardware and feature Heaven’s trademark bear decor, paying tribute to era-defining friendship bracelets. Standard AirWair pull tabs complete the designs with yellow stitching and rubber sole units.
Elsewhere, the shoe boasts DM’s signature yellow exposed stitching alongside a distinctive AirWair heel loop. Rounding out the design is Heaven by Marc Jacob’s unique double-headed bear on the buckle, inspired by retro friendship bracelets from the ’90s.
The new collection launched on October 20 and is available now.
