The Dr. Martens Buzz shoes officially turn one this year, and the milestone proves one thing: chunky platforms aren’t going anywhere.
When the archive-inspired Buzz sole returned last year, it ushered in a new era for the brand with its rounded edges, bouncy feel, and unmistakable nod to ‘90s footwear. Twelve months later, the demand hasn’t slowed, especially now that two new Wyoming leather silhouettes have entered the mix.
Known for its soft, broken-in feel, Wyoming leather adds a more relaxed look to the Buzz lineup, giving longtime fans a fresh reason to revisit the platform. The sole itself remains the star, offering height and support without sacrificing comfort, which explains why several Buzz designs continue to rank as top sellers.
The Buzz sole’s throwback roots are unmistakable, but the latest execution feels distinctly current, which is proof that nostalgia-driven footwear can still feel fresh a year later. Even better? A few of the most popular Buzz styles are currently marked down, making the anniversary moment the ideal time to shop.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to invest in chunky platforms, consider this it.
