Brand of the Week - COLE HAAN

Starting out as a men’s footwear label, Cole Haan has come a long way in today’s market. It has currently expanded its product line to footwear of all kinds, handbags, outerwear, and accessories such as belts, hosiery, gloves, scarves, hats, and sunglasses for men, women, and kids. This premier American lifestyle and luxury brand was established in 1928 by Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan.

In its 92 years of existence, the company has shifted its ownership multiple times. In 1975 it was bought by a company of partners directed by George Denney. This management worked incessantly to strengthen the base established by the founders. They successfully managed to turn Cole Haan into one of the leading footwear brands in the U.S. They expanded the retail stores worldwide, hence accumulating a lot of profit and popularity. At present, they retail all across the globe except for Oceania and Australia, apart from which they also have a remarkable online presence in social media and e-commerce. Since then, the label was purchased by Nike Inc. in 1988 and finally by Apax Partners in 2012, who remain its owners to date. The company is, however, in the midst of preparations to go public.

Cole Haan, which is built on American artistry and ingenuity, effortlessly combines conventional techniques and timeless grace along with modern-day enhancements. By combining comfort with style and versatility, they continue to make products that appeal to footwear enthusiasts of all age groups. The label incorporates biomechanics, material science, and engineering to keep up with the current market trends of a casual workplace and remain relevant in the ever changing and competitive fashion industry. Their ZERØGRAND collection is an excellent example of how they have given the classic wingtip oxfords a modern twist by improving their flexibility and making them more lightweight, thus providing a streetwear-inspired look to the ageless silhouette. This is made specially to cater to the unique challenges presented by millennials since the generation is not willing to sacrifice either comfort or style. The ZERØGRAND collection provides an agile and airy shoe that does not compromise the functionality and keeps up with the wingtip’s iconic look. Undoubtedly the label sticks to their mantra of “respect tradition enough to reinvent it.” All while achieving their mission to “inspire the customers to live extraordinary lives by encouraging and supporting their personal and professional passions.”
