Dr Marten trainers .. did I dream having these?

[scooby365]

Does anybody else remember Dr Marten trainers from the late 70s to early 80s? I remember being in Middle school, and seeing these advertised. I nagged my parents to buy them for my birthday. Seem to remember then being a pale blue colour and white laces. But I can't find reference to them when I search online. So did I dream all of this, or maybe just mis-remember the brand of the trainers I asked for.

Thanks forum!

I can not remember these Colours OP but I sure can remember the name and other Colours like Brown etc - which is when Dc Marten's had their main rival in Cat Shoes in the early to middle of the 90s! Wearing these for School was a good excuse to wear Trainers that could "pass" as School Shoes - though school soon cottoned on Lol

No
you are correct..
Dr Martens produced the Air Wair trainer

this is from the 1980 Freemans Catalogue

The blue ones kinda almost look line Bowling Shoes!

Fantastic! I don't remember them looking like that but it's kind of familiar. Great find! And so began my long associated with the not-great-in-the-wet suede trainers.
