DR. MARTENS ANNOUNCES NEW COLLECTION CELEBRATING WEDNESDAY ADDAMS

by John Russel Jones


Wednesday Addams doesn’t fit in — and she doesn’t want to. It’s an attribute she shares with many Dr. Martens wearers — those who have adopted the brand’s footwear for decades and transformed it into a badge of honor, a subversive fashion statement, and a symbol of community.

Netflix and MGM’s hit cult series has inspired Dr. Martens’ latest collaboration and features silhouettes inspired by Wednesday Addams’s signature midnight black hues. One of the most prominent details of the collection is repeated tributes to the stained-glass window in her dorm room.

The collab features two unisex styles. The Jadon boot (above) is made with smooth, Nappa Lux leather with embroidery inspired by the stained-glass window. The laces are also decorated with a removable stained-glass window charm, and the backstrap of the boot is printed with the Nevermore Academy logo. The boot’s sock is purple with a print of Wednesday with her umbrella, and the boot’s heel is marked with an embossed version of the Wednesday title treatment. The Quad sole is secured with DM’s yellow welt stitching, and the heel loop is signed with purple script. (Retail $210)

The 1461 Bex Wednesday shoe (at top) is made with Smooth leather, a gloss stripe print, and a plain toe cap with stitch detailing. Purple accent details are throughout the shoe, including in the heel loop, the lace aglets, and the removable “SNAP TWICE” lace charms. The heels are printed with white text that reads “OUTCASTS ARE IN.” The Bex sole is secured with classic yellow welt stitching. ($170)

Women’s styles include the Corran Wednesday Loafer (not shown) and Ramsey Quad Wednesday Creeper (above) ($180 and $190). The collection also consists of a Mini Backpack made with Smooth and Kiev leather with gloss stripes across the front and the flap ($140), and knee-high Wednesday socks ($26).

Dr. Martens x Wednesday lands on October 23rd at drmartens.com and in select Dr. Martens retail stores. There’s an early sign-up link here.
