ADRIAN TASSEL LOAFER BLACK POLISHED SMOOTH

A subcultural classic with polished leather, signature tassels and unmistakable Dr. Martens attitude.

The Adrian Tassel Loafer in Black Polished Smooth by Dr. Martens is one of the brand’s most recognisable silhouettes, blending traditional loafer styling with the tougher construction Dr. Martens is known for.

Originally introduced in the 1970s, the Adrian was the first DM’s shoe directly inspired by subculture, combining mod-influenced smartness with a more hardwearing finish. This version is made from Black Polished Smooth leather, giving the loafer a cleaner, more refined look while keeping the durability of classic Smooth leather.

The tassel detailing gives the front its traditional character, while the air-cushioned sole keeps the overall look grounded in Dr. Martens DNA. Wear them polished for a sharper finish or let the leather develop more character over time.
