Watches. Cameras. Motorbikes. Just a few of the things engraved by boundary-breaking artist Johnny Dowell, aka King Nerd. Fusing DIY-style illustrative designs with traditional handcraftsmanship, his one-of-a-kind pieces have changed the face of engraving. Our 1460 King Nerd boot features silver metal plates embossed with a bespoke design from the artist himself. Built from tough Smooth leather, the boots are finished with metallic accents, a Smoke DMS sole and yellow welt stitching.

Care Instructions
Wipe away dirt using a damp cloth. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to the outside of your footwear to keep the leather supple, strong and smooth. Once dry, buff vigorously to desired shine using a clean Dr. Martens Shoe Brush. Repeat regularly to prolong the life of your footwear.
