Dr. Martens AW26: Desert Rodeo & Buzz

Ahead of AW26, Dr. Martens continues to explore the intersection of heritage, subculture and self-expression with the introduction of two new collections: Desert Rodeo and Buzz. Together, they reflect the brand’s ability to reinterpret iconic design codes through a contemporary lens while remaining rooted in the craftsmanship and attitude that have defined Dr. Martens for decades.

Desert Rodeo offers a modern take on western-inspired silhouettes, combining rugged workwear influences with refined proportions, fringe detailing and the unmistakable Quad sole featuring the brand’s signature air-cushioned construction. Designed as enduring wardrobe staples rather than trend-driven pieces, the collection balances everyday functionality with a distinctive edge. Launching in July, Desert Rodeo reinforces the timeless appeal of western dressing through the unmistakable Dr. Martens perspective.

Arriving in August, Buzz marks the next evolution of the brand’s breakout platform silhouette. Originally inspired by chunky archive styles from the 1990s, the collection returns for AW26 with elevated leathers, tactile textures and an expanded colour palette. Standout styles including the Buzz Hi Brown Gloss and Buzz 5-Eye Croc are joined by new iterations such as the Buzz Hi Croc and Buzz 6-Eye, further developing the silhouette with fresh proportions and premium finishes.

Together, the AW26 collections demonstrate how Dr. Martens continues to evolve without losing sight of its roots—moving effortlessly between western-inspired utility and bold platform silhouettes while championing individuality, durability and unmistakable attitude.
