If you grew up with Bratz dolls, you’ll be thrilled to know that they’re making a major comeback — not just in toy aisles, but in fashion, too. In an exciting debut collaboration, Dr. Martens has teamed up with the iconic doll brand for a limited-edition footwear and accessories collection that channels the bold and nostalgic Y2K aesthetic.
Mark your calendars because this vibrant collection is set to drop on April 10.
Dr. Martens, known for their timeless and edgy designs, is bringing their signature rugged style together with Bratz’s playful attitude in a dreamy color palette of purple, pink, glitter, and fur. The new collection showcases three styles that are sure to make any Bratz (or DMs) fan’s heart skip a beat. Let’s dive into the key items:
Bratz Bex Boot
These purple-tinged 14-eye lace-up boots are a statement piece like no other. With star-embossed detailing and a glittering Bex sole, they perfectly blend the attitude of Bratz with the classic Dr. Martens design. The boots are finished off with flat velvet laces, a lips lace charm, and the signature Bratz swing tag. Priced at $220, this bold boot is a must-have for anyone wanting to add some serious flair to their footwear collection.
Buzz Bratz 5-Eye Shoe
Bringing back the 90s-inspired Buzz sole for the first time in a Dr. Martens collaboration, these shoes are a playful nod to Y2K fashion. Made from soft Nappa milled leather and velvet, the Buzz Bratz 5-Eye Shoe features diamanté eyelets, a row of silver studs, and velvet laces. The pinkish-purple hue and the Bratz swing tag make these shoes a standout style at $150. For lovers of chunky, statement shoes, this pair is a true head-turner.
Mattison Bratz Strap Sandal
Perfect for the warmer months and especially for festival season, the Mattison Bratz Sandal combines comfort and glamour. With glitter-infused soles that sparkle with every step and a pink faux-fur strap, these sandals are sure to steal the show. The star-shaped buckle, star-printed footbed, and Bratz swing tag add that extra playful touch. At $140, these sandals bring all the nostalgia and fun of Bratz into one stylish piece.
And because no outfit is complete without the perfect accessory, the Micro Heart Bratz Bag completes the four-piece drop. While small in size, the bag is big on attitude with its diamanté details and studs. It’s the perfect finishing touch for any sassy Bratz-inspired look. Priced at $75, the cute and chic bag packs a punch in both style and playfulness.
This collaboration is the latest example of the Y2K aesthetic making a big comeback in fashion. From Crocs to Juicy Couture, brands are embracing the nostalgia of the early 2000s, and Dr. Martens’ Bratz partnership is right at the forefront of this trend. The playful mix of glitter, velvet, and faux fur fits seamlessly with the bold and colorful vibe that defined the Bratz dolls and the Y2K era.
This partnership is also a nod to the strong ties between Bratz and pop culture over the years. Before this collaboration, Bratz worked with Puma in 2021 on a footwear collection.
With this collection, Dr. Martens and Bratz are making a statement that blends nostalgia with modern flair. The drop is sure to delight fans of the iconic doll franchise and those who will never, ever outgrow the timeless edginess of DMs.
The collaboration will be available for purchase on Dr. Martens’ official website starting April 10, so be sure to check it out before it sells out. Whether you’re looking to add some sparkle to your step or embrace the spirit of Y2K, this collection is one you won’t want to miss.
