OWN YOUR MOMENT: DR. MARTENS AND ALPHA INDUSTRIES REVISIT THEIR ORIGINS WITH A ULTITY-INSPIRED COLLECTION…
Born in the same era. Born of purpose. With foundations entrenched in workwear. From the first 1460 boot rolling off production line to the original Alpha Industries MA-1 flight jacket, the 60s were only the start of both brands’ journeys.
Cult classics were made famous by the people who wore the brands. From worker to subculture. Factory to pavement. Flight deck to festival. Each transition adds an unexpected story. A different interpretation.
And a new meaning. But they’ve never forgotten where they started.
Since the Alpha Industries MA-1 became the flight jacket of the US Air Force in the early 60s, its
durable, versatile descendants have been adopted by youth subcultures globally. Today, the jacket is
still manufactured to its original military specifications, defined by its bright reversible lining and utility
pockets.
We wouldn’t be anywhere without our origins. So, when crafting new designs, they dug into
shared history to engineer a collection that celebrates the hardworking spirit they’re known for – and the
wearers who made them who we are. A reminder to stay authentic. And own your moment.
The styles in the collaboration are once again built to last. With quality craftsmanship. Durability.
And functionality running through every single stitch. The Tarik boot is remastered in Smooth leather and
Nylon with an added sleeve pocket on the ankle. Red and black laces. A removable Alpha Industries pull
tab – a feature taken directly from the MA-1. And the recognisable yellow stitching.
The 1460 Ben boot also gets a modern workwear upgrade with Smooth leather and Nylon across the
upper. And the same added elements as the Tarik. They’ve created a boot that’s ready for anything.
As distinctively DM’s as it is Alpha Industries.
Next, DM’s attitude is given a utility edge with the Alpha Backpack. Functional from zip to strap, it
features added pockets. A hardwearing mix of Smooth leather, Kiev leather and Nylon. And the same
Alpha Industries pull tab.
