Dr. Martens Latest Shoes to get Liberty Treatment

Just last month sportswear giant Nike unveiled its latest teamup with iconic UK store Liberty London, and now another footwear institution has received a floral makeover with the Liberty London for Dr. Martens collection being revealed.

The Liberty and Dr. Martens collaboration sees two prints, Strawberry Thief and Martens Flower, adorning the traditional eight-hole and three-hole Dr. Martens boots and shoes, with the styles launching May 1.

Liberty’s famous floral prints have featured on footwear by labels including Repetto in the past, and for Spring 2012 Nike unveiled its Cortez, Air Max One and Nike FREE 5.0 styles dressed in Liberty’s most iconic prints.

Floral looks set to be this season’s most ubiquitous print, after colorful blooms adorned creations at Spring/Summer 2012 shoes including Christopher Kane and Louis Vuitton. Meanwhile, another UK label famed for its flower motifs, Laura Ashley, teamed up with high street store Uniqlo for a Spring 2012 collection comprising floral prints, T-shirts, stoles, and tunics.
