British boot maker Dr. Martens's first collaboration with the "godfathers of heavy metal" celebrates "Black Sabbath" and "Paranoid"'s 50th anniversaries, and shine the spotlight on Keith "Keef" Macmillan's equally hard-hitting artwork.

 

The Dr. Martens X Black Sabbath collection lands on October 1. The boots feature McMillan's artwork printed over the 1460 8-Eye Black Susan combat boot.

 

For the fiscal year ending March 31, Dr. Martens's underlying profits surged 93 percent to 164.4 million pounds (about $215.4 million) on revenues of 672.2 million pounds (roughly $881 million). E-commerce and retail sales accounted for about 45 percent of that revenue, while the rest came from the company's wholesale business.
