Dr. Martens<\/span><\/a> is ringing in the Year of the Horse with a limited\u2011edition 1461 shoe that gallops straight into collector territory, reworking the classic 3\u2011eye silhouette with tactile leather, equestrian details, and lucky red Lunar New Year accents.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

A Lunar New Year take on the 1461<\/b><\/h3>\n

The 1461 Year of the Horse is a special-edition version of Dr. Martens\u2019 original 3\u2011eye shoe, created to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2026 zodiac. Part of the brand\u2019s Year of the Horse pack, it releases alongside a matching 1460 8\u2011eye boot, both designed as premium, seasonal spins on the label\u2019s most enduring icons.\u200b<\/span>According to Dr. Martens, this 1461 is built on the familiar air\u2011cushioned DMS sole with Goodyear-welted construction, so the festive design still carries the durability and comfort that made the style a subcultural staple since 1961.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tactile leather and antique gold hardware<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Year of the Horse 1461 pairs the brand\u2019s signature Smooth leather with a statement hair\u2011on leather vamp, echoing the texture of a horse\u2019s coat for a more tactile, layered finish. Bridle-inspired harness straps wrap the upper, finished with heavy-duty antique gold hardware that references classic horse tack and adds a polished, jewelry-like feel.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Two-tone Smooth Slice panels introduce subtle pops of red under the black surface, picking up the rest of the shoe\u2019s Lunar New Year detailing. Together, the materials create a contrast between sleek shine, soft texture, and metal hardware that feels elevated without losing the brand\u2019s tough DNA.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Lucky red accents for the Year of the Horse<\/b><\/h3>\n

In place of Dr. Martens\u2019 usual yellow welt stitching and heel loop, the Year of the Horse collection switches to red details, a shade widely associated with luck, prosperity and protection in Lunar New Year traditions. On the 1461, red welt stitching and branding sit against the black upper and sole, turning the color into both a symbolic and graphic design element.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

These red touches, combined with the equestrian harness straps, tie the shoe\u2019s storytelling directly to the Year of the Horse, while still reading as a wearable black leather style for the rest of the year.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Where and how to buy<\/b><\/h3>\n

The 1461 Year of the Horse is listed at around <\/span>$160<\/span><\/a> on Dr. Martens’ official website, with regional pricing that can range up to approximately \u20ac 205 in Europe, depending on the market. The pair is available through Dr. Martens online, select brand stores, and chosen retailers as part of the Lunar New Year 2026 drop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the limited-edition nature of past Lunar New Year releases, sizes for the Year of the Horse pack are expected to move quickly, particularly among collectors who target special color and hardware variations of the 1460 and 1461 each year.<\/span>
