Dr. Martens and Rick Owens are teaming up again. The two just unveiled their fifth collaborative collection, called “Quad Sole,” a Fall/Winter 2026 release built around three new styles: the Pull On Boot, the Steel Toe Boot, and the Megalace Mule.
The Rick Owens and Dr. Martens partnership goes back to 2021, and every release has followed the same formula: running Dr. Martens’ rugged, utilitarian boots through Owens’ brutalist design language. For Owens, the pairing also functions as a personal callback. He wore Dr. Martens growing up, and his early rise as a designer overlapped with the 1990s grunge era that turned the brand into shorthand for deconstructed, rule breaking style.

The Dr. Martens x Rick Owens Quad Sole Collection Design
Each style carries the collaboration’s brutalist stamp in its own way. The Pull On Boot is a tall silhouette that slips on, set atop Dr. Martens’ familiar chunky sole unit. The Steel Toe Boot brings an industrial steel toe cap, waxed leather uppers, and long laces that wrap around the ankle. The Megalace Mule pushes furthest into experimental territory, built with an open heel and Owens’ signature oversized, exaggerated laces.
Why Do Rick Owens and Dr. Martens Keep Collaborating?
The two have partnered five times since 2021 because Owens sees Dr. Martens as part of his own history, having worn the brand growing up during the 1990s grunge era that shaped his design outlook.
