A heritage tassel loafer in high-shine cherry red Arcadia leather.
The Adrian Cherry Red Loafer by Dr. Martens is a true heritage style, combining classic loafer detailing with the brand’s unmistakable construction and subcultural edge.
Originally introduced in 1980, the Adrian has remained a standout thanks to its traditional double tassel and kiltie fringe. This version is crafted in Arcadia leather, a high-shine two-tone leather with a contrasting topcoat that gradually rubs away to reveal more of the underlying colour, giving each pair more character over time.
Built on the iconic Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, the Adrian delivers the substantial feel the brand is known for, while grooved edges and visible stitching keep the finish instantly recognisable.
The rich Cherry Red colour makes this version particularly striking. Wear it with tailoring for a sharper look, or use it to add colour and attitude to denim, dresses and everyday separates.
