Athena Leather vs Brando Leather — The Evolution of Dr Martens Myles Sandals

Athena Leather is the next generation of Dr Martens’ smooth, durable leather — replacing the well-loved Brando Leather used in earlier Myles sandals. It offers the same rugged thickness and natural feel, but with a slightly softer hand and faster break-in period, making it ideal for everyday wear.

While Brando Leather sandals gained their reputation for tough, waxed finishes that softened over time, Athena Leather keeps that classic Docs edge with a more refined texture and consistent look straight out of the box. Both are built on the iconic AirWair sole and finished with the signature yellow stitching — so whether you’ve loved Brando or you’re ready to try Athena, the Dr Martens Myles Sandals deliver comfort and unmistakable attitude.
