DR MARTENS DI PAULO PASCAL DARK GREEN BACKHAND BOOT
The original 1460 boot is undeniably iconic and there's duality to it.
The boot started as a working class, utilitarian men's boot and ended up
a symbol of self-expression and rebellion.
Above ground to underground
is why its dual nature and perfect for the museum collection.
It's
emblazoned with The Annunciation, a 1435 painting by Giannicola Di
Paolo which features the archangel Gabriel handing a lily, the symbol of
purity, to the Virgin Mary.
Religion, meets counterculture.
Selections
from Di Paolo's designs are digitally printed onto Backhand leather.
There's no binding on the collars.
It's got our simple yellow welt
stitch, which ensures the main focus is on the artwork.
The Di Paolo has
our iconic AirWair Bouncing Soles, that's oil-and-fat resistant with
good abrasion and slip resistance-and has been since 1960.
Finally, this
shoe is Goodyear-welted, meaning the upper and sole are sewn together
in our heat-sealed z-welt stitch for enhanced comfort.
