Metallica and Dr. Martens Launch Exclusive Footwear Collection for True Rock Fans
Legendary American band Metallica has teamed up with the iconic British brand Dr. Martens to create a unique footwear collection that combines rock culture style with the brand’s signature quality. The new line was released on January 29, 2026, and has already attracted worldwide attention.
The collection includes three main models, each with its own unique story. The base model, Dr. Martens 1460 Metallica Boot, features the classic eight-eyelet silhouette in black leather with graphics inspired by the band’s late 1980s tours. The design was created by renowned artist Pushead, who collaborated with Metallica in the 1980s, making the shoes a true collector’s item for fans.
The second model, the three-eyelet Dr. Martens 1461 Metallica Shoe, is lighter and more versatile for everyday wear, while remaining stylish. It is decorated with artwork related to the Damage Inc. 1986 tour, adding historical value for the band’s followers.
The exclusive 1460 Boot version, available only through the official Metallica website, draws special attention. The black boots feature an embossed Metallica logo on the ankle and laces inscribed with “5th Member, ” symbolizing fans as the “fifth member” of the band. Each pair comes with metal “M” studs and dog tag-style charms with signature inscriptions, emphasizing uniqueness and premium quality.
Dr. Martens is long known for its durable footwear with characteristic yellow stitching and grooved soles, which have become symbols of musical subcultures and street style. Combined with Metallica, the new collection turns classic boots into a true item for rock fans and collectors.
This Metallica x Dr. Martens collaboration is a perfect example of how a musical legend can inspire modern footwear design, creating unique items appreciated by both band fans and lovers of quality style. The collection is now available online and in Dr. Martens stores and is sure to become a must-have for anyone looking for exclusive Metallica-style boots.
