Initially, Dr. Martens were purchased for 2 pounds and were widely worn by working-class British delivery workers and factory laborers. Then, on April 1, 1960, the brand's iconic first model, the "1460 (8-hole boot)," was born. In 1969, Pete Townshend of the British rock band The Who began wearing Dr. Martens as a symbol of working-class pride and rebellious spirit. The influence of The Who, who were representative of the Mod scene at the time, was immense, and Dr. Martens became popular as a uniform for subsequent subcultures like the skinheads and punks. In short, this is how Dr. Martens expanded from work boots to the fashion scene. Thank you for watching.
