For Bodega’s upcoming 1461, special attention was paid to Dr. Martens industrial roots with a black, pebbled leather upper, nubuck overlays, a Tectuff toe cap and the anti-slip sure footing of Dr. Marten’s WinterGrip outsole. Worn here by Sonny Mouneu, the shoe shows a reverence for the past while pushing the design forward with subtle modern day accents. 
Mouneu, better known by his alias in the art world, Sonny Boy, is no stranger to merging old techniques with modern design. A renowned pinstriper and sign painter, Sonny Boy is an artist and craftsman who has found new ways to express old disciplines. For the uninitiated, pinstriping actually dates back to the horse and buggy days with the sides of vehicles and spokes painted for stylized accents. Even Ford Motor Company’s original Model T used a pinstriper in their famed assembly line.
