What: The Big Dr. Martens Birthday Giveaway
When: 1st – 8th April 2016
Where: Dr. Martens UK Store at The Exchange
British footwear brand Dr. Martens is celebrating its birthday with its customers from 1st – 8th April by giving away a Dr. Martens: History of Rebellious Self-Expression book with every purchase of Originals boots or shoes* at their Nottingham store.
To mark its 56th year, it will also be giving all shoppers the chance to win two tickets, accommodation and travel for No. 6 festival in North Wales, a unique and original music festival set in the village of Portmerion with no purchase necessary.
Dr. Martens has championed individuality since 1960 when the first pair of 1460 boots rolled off the production line at its original Cobbs Lane factory in Northampton, England manufactured using AirWair’s traditional “Bouncing sole” and the brand’s unique industrial construction process.
The 1460 8-boot, named after the date it was created on the 1st April 1960, sets the precedent for the Dr. Martens Originals offer. The next year on the same date the 1461 3-eye shoe was introduced, first marketed as “a stout shoe made from all the same materials as the 1460 which can be worn for working or sporting occasions” and popularised in the early 80’s as a fashion item when students, musicians and notably girls adopted it, making it an everyday staple.
Dr. Martens Originals encapsulate all of the brands iconic unisex styles, including the 3989 brogue, the Adrian Tassel loafer, the Church Monkey boot, the 2976 Chelsea boot, the 1490 and 1914 boots, and for women the Polley T-bar shoe – offered in the classic oxblood, black and cherry red as well as a selection of colours and leather finishes. They feature all the classic Dr. Martens’ components, the air-cushioned sole providing comfort, durability and traction and the unique Goodyear-welt where the upper and sole are stitched and heat sealed for a durable construction.
Recognised worldwide for their uncompromising look, durability and comfort. Engineered from industry, championed through music, worn by individuals.
