Supreme and Dr. Martens are back together. This time it's the Postal Supreme, a 4-eye shoe made exclusively for Supreme.
The Shoe
The Postal Supreme comes in two colorways. The snakeskin version has a smooth leather upper with a debossed printed snakeskin pattern. It's a creamy, off-white base with that classic reptile scale look all over. The black version keeps it clean with a smooth leather upper and nothing else competing for attention.
Both colorways share the same details: air-cushioned sole, padded collar, printed logos on the insole, and a branded tab at the side. The soles are chunky and black on both pairs, giving them that unmistakable Dr. Martens foundation.

About Dr. Martens
Dr. Martens started in 1947 when Klaus Märtens, a German doctor, designed an air-cushioned sole to help his injured foot heal. He teamed up with Herbert Funck, and together they built a boot business using repurposed military rubber. The R. Griggs Group in Northamptonshire, England bought the patent rights in 1959 and launched the iconic 1460 boot on April 1, 1960. What began as workwear for postmen and factory workers got adopted by skinheads, punk rockers, and eventually the fashion world. The brand's been a staple in subculture for over six decades.
The "Postal" name here is a nice nod to that heritage. Dr. Martens shoes were literally the go-to for postal workers in Britain.
The Details
Looking at the images, the snakeskin pair has black laces and a subtle Supreme branding tab on the outer side. The black pair shows off the Dr. Martens heel loop and a small red tab. Both sit low, almost like a derby shoe silhouette, but with that trademark Docs weight to them.
The Postal Supreme drops April 30th. Asia gets it May 2nd. Available through Supreme's website and physical locations.
