Margaret Howell redesigns classic Dr. Martens — but the price is steep

British designer Margaret Howell has collaborated with Dr. Martens to rethink the classic boot in a way that goes beyond cosmetic changes like new laces or a commemorative tag. The redesign features subtle but deliberate differences that reveal themselves only on close inspection. However, the price point is considerably higher than a standard Dr. Martens purchase, which may deter some buyers.
