Boop-boop De Doo - Dr Martens X Betty Boop

Cultural icon and feminist trailblazer Betty Boop was ahead of her time. By many decades. In the 30s, she was a symbol of liberation. From flying transatlantic to running - and winning - as president, if her reign hadn't been cut short by puritan top dogs, she'd have been right at home in a pair of DM's. Feminine. And strong. Vulnerable. And tough.

Dr Martens' collaboration with Betty Boop celebrates what it means to be both.

JADON BETTY BOOP PLATFORM BOOTS £189

DM have reworked their towering 8-eye Jadon boot with a tonal gloss print showcasing angel and devil Betty Boop poses.

Constructed from classic Smooth leather and detailed with red heart rivets on the quarters and the backstrap. Each pair comes with dual laces, including a standard cord and a velvet option - and a branded Betty Boop swing tag attached. The Jadon's inner ankle zip is detailed with an enamel zip puller featuring Betty Boop. Finished with a printed sole pad and Doc's signature yellow welt stitching.

​1461 QUAD BETTY BOOP PLATFORM SHOES £159

DM have given the 3-eye 1461 Quad shoe a Betty Boop makeover with no shortage of attitude. Constructed from classic Smooth leather with bold heart-shaped printed metal toe caps. Detailed with heart-shaped eyelets and red heart rivets on the quarters and the backstrap. Each pair comes with dual laces, including a standard cord and a velvet option - and a branded Betty Boop swing tag attached. Finished with a printed sole pad and signature yellow welt stitching.

​VEGAN CLARISSA QUAD BETTY BOOP SANDALS £139

A rebuilt Clarissa Quad sandal using a synthetic Kemble material in optical white - stacked on Doc's chunky Quad Shore sole. With bold domed heart-motif resin studs across the top strap - detailed with black heart and red stud rivets above the welt. Finished with a contrasting red footbed, a branded Betty Boop swing tag and black hardware. Distinctly DM's, the sandal is marked with signature DM's yellow welt stitching and a scripted AirWair heel loop.

Also in the collection is a 7" Betty Boop Leather Satchel £75
