ONE SHOE THREE WAYS: 3989 TEMPERLEY
Philadelphia is a city rich with history, art, and old-school charm — which is why our Philly store staff is well-equipped to rock a fresh take on the Dr. Martens classic: the 3989 Temperley. A classic combo of refined menswear and countercultural attitude, the first 3989 Brogue was made in the mid-60s; and this season, we gave it a wintry update with brushed wool, slick Temperley leather, a contrast welt and vintage brass eyelets. Keep scrolling to see how Katie, Adrian, and Christian from Dr. Martens Philly put their unique spins on this historic Dr. Martens shoe.
