Dr. Martens Wayborne Boot x Brain Dead Design
The collaboration pushes the Wayborne Boot, a rugged mid cut, into louder territory. It arrives in two mixed material versions.
The first pair combines Multi Arcadia leather that has a rub off finish with zebra hair panels in black and white. The leather surface moves between black, Toxic Green and Dark Teal. Glossy leather sits against the fuzzy animal print inserts. Metal hardware inspired by hiking, laces with a black and white pattern, and oversized paneling all contribute to the utility look. A thick, lugged Wayborne outsole anchors it.
The second pair swaps in Cherry Red leather and leopard hair on panels. The deep burgundy leather and warm tan and black print read darker and closer to a traditional Dr. Martens boot. Black hardware, patterned laces and the heavy outsole carry over, with collaborative branding kept understated.
Where Is the Cherry Red Version Sold?
The Cherry Red pair is exclusive to Brain Dead channels, Dr. Martens Showroom Tokyo and the Dr. Martens Brewer St. Store.
