We’ve got good news and bad news for Dr. Martens collectors and Yohji Yamamoto fanatics in Toronto. The good news is that Dr. Martens has collaborated with Yohji Yamamoto’s Y’s Collection to create a new limited edition boot exclusively for women, and there are 16 pairs available at the Dr. Martens store on Queen West. The bad news is that it’s going to cost you close to $1,000 to own just one of those 16 pairs. But, as every good boot collector knows, it’s not about the price, it’s about the product.
Dr. Martens x Y’s Collection, $915. Available at Dr. Martens Toronto, 391 Queen St. W., 416-585-9595
