My Martens story started in summer 1996 when I first listened to the album Dookie from Green Day. I just fell in love with the music and with the idea of being different from my classmates when I get back to school in September. To complete my super cool punk rocker image I just needed one thing: a pair of cherry red Docs. Unfortunately, my parents were not that into the idea of wearing steel toe caps as a 12 years old, so I did not get the boots. After 6 months of begging and annoying them, Christmas finally arrived. I was so excited as I saw that big cardboard box. But as I opened it I just find some brown leather boots... In retrospect, they were actually quite nice but as a serious pun...
