The brand says: “At DM’s, we stand proud with the LGBTQ+ community and our LGBTQ+ wearers around the world. This new one-off shoe pays tribute to the Pride movement.”
Dr. Martens has confirmed that it will be donating to three charities in Europe including akt, an England-based charity that supports young LGBT+ people facing homelessness after coming out.

The shoes are available in sizes three to 13, while customers can also take advantage of free delivery on the website.
They will also be donating to two other charities across the continent for Pride 2021: Jugend Gegen Aids and Le Refuge, based in Germany and France respectively.
This launch follows up a number of collaborations released by Dr. Martens in 2021 including one with the Keith Haring Foundation.
The collection featured classic Dr. Martens reimagined with Haring’s iconic designs including the angel with wings and the dancing figures.
Other collabs have included pop culture icon Hello Kitty, US skateboarding brand Supreme and designer Rick Owens, all putting their own spin on the classic English brand.
