Rick Owens and Dr. Martens continue their design conversation for FW26 with a three-style Quad Sole collection. The lineup includes a Pull-On Boot, Steel Toe Boot and the open-heel Megalace Mule, all built around exaggerated proportion and heavy black leather.

Familiar DNA, Rewritten Scale

The collaboration demonstrates what happens when a recognizable product is treated as raw design material rather than something untouchable. Dr. Martens supplies the industrial foundation; Owens changes proportion, closure, weight and attitude until the familiar boot starts operating like wearable architecture.

The collection released in September 2026 through Rick Owens, Dr. Martens and select retailers.
