Cole Haan launches ZeroGrand

Cole Haan launches ZeroGrand

Their designs have been replicated, modified, even blatantly copied by competitors wanting to get a piece of the now very robust men’s casual footwear market ever since the launch of their innovative LunarGrand series back in 2012.

Notice how Sketchers blatantly copies ColeHaan's LunarGrand. Quality-wise though the Lunars are far more superior.

Cole Haan’s partnership with Nike has been so good that even after Nike sold the company to Apax Partners Worldwide LLP years back, Cole Haan has still been using Nike tech for their top-of-the-line collection. The design speaks volumes for this partnership as witnessed with the LunarGrand series – creating a stark juxtaposition of old and new design as well as ensuring classic gentleman shoe form with amazing ergonomic function.

After churning out various iterations of the LunarGrand collection – from colorful suede, perforated leather, and even a limited edition Gold and Silver top, Cole Haan is pushing the envelope once again with the announcement (and international launch) of their latest innovation: the ZeroGrand.

Back then, Nike’s “big thing” was their LunarGlide collection. This year, Cole Haan decided to focus on one of Nike’s top selling series – the Nike Free as its base sole.

Behold its awesomeness!

Designed for ultimate comfort & flexibility with the Nike Free sole, Cole Haan is committed in creating lightweight footwear to free any stress that your foot may encounter. This means that wearing Oxfords won’t be such a chore anymore – not that it ever was with the LunarGrands.

Weighing approximately 290 grams, this is ColeHaan’s lightest footwear yet. In fact, according to the website, this shoe rivals footwear once reserved for long distance runners. Wew!

Secretly hoping the shoe lights up too (obviously it won't). :D
