Whatever you may call them - DMs, Docs or Doc Martens - Dr. Martens have been a footwear staple for decades, with wearers as devoted to the brand and its iconography as they are to the boot itself.

Telling the stories of three such customers is ACNE's Broken in once, worn for a lifetime. campaign, gathering memories and anecdotes from individuals infatuated with the product: Elijah, Sarah and Jai.

Brought to life distinctively by PRETTYBIRD's Margot Bowman, with a snappy visual style that grabs your attention, these cute docs [pun intended] get to the soul [pun intended] of the legendary footwear.

“Growing up in Camden market, working with DM's was a really special one," comments Bowman. "The passion and energy everyone brought to the process is really proof of how meaningful great products can be. The range of stories, adventures and lived experiences we tapped into was truly humbling and a joy to bring to screen.".

“This campaign was about getting real stories from real wearers from all walks of life," adds Tom Loveless, Creative Director, ACNE. "We spoke to people about their own unique stories, with their Docs from all across the globe.

"It was an honour to celebrate just how many feet this iconic brand has been on over the years.".
