izzue x Dr. Martens 1460





As a brand situated predominately in the confines of Hong Kong, izzue teams up with Dr. Martens on their classic 1460 boot. Offering a popular touch of the moment, the usual smooth toebox is adorned with a wingtip motif throughout as well as a subtle pressed logo along the side. Available now at izzue for a suggested retail price of HKD $1299. Yeah! They are selling in Hong Kong! I think I better ask someone to help me to buy these crossover boots in Hong Kong. Thanks to Hypebeast for the info and photos.
