What's up, Doc?

You retired the green Dr. Martens around the same time Hole put out their last album (pre-reunion disc, that is), so it’s debatable whether you should resurrect the trend for a second go.

But since it’s the iconic brand’s 50th anniversary this year, a little celebration is in order. The Diva Darcie boot ($175) has all the nostalgic charms of the classic but with a wooden heel for a more feminine, grown-up take and less “I’m with the band” feel.

And if you feel like downloading a little Hole, we won’t tell.
