In
September, the much-anticipated Cole Haan LunarGrand Wingtip Collection will
launch in Asia Pacific. Engineered to conquer the streets of New York City, the
LunarGrand is a conceptual clash of past meets future—the unique and seamless
fusion of timeless design and futuristic innovation. Incorporating Nike’s
innovative ultra-lightweight Lunarlon cushioning system into Cole Haan’s
traditional construction techniques, the LunarGrand achieves unrivaled feel,
flexibility and movement - redefining how classic dress shoes can move and
function in modern urban environments.
“The
LunarGrand came from our perpetual obsession with making our products better,”
says Phil Russo, Cole Haan’s VP of Design. “When you understand what people are
doing in their shoes today, their expectations of style and demands of
functionality, you can create products that really do make a difference as
people go about their everyday lives.
Through
considered and specific engineering, the Cole Haan LunarGrand emerges as a
unique product that challenges preconceptions of how dress shoes can adapt.
“The goal of the design process was to create a wingtip to take on the streets
of New York City—a shoe that utilized motion-enhancing innovations at the same
time as retaining its authentic and timeless aesthetic,” said Russo.
The
immediate reaction when wearing the shoe is to its lightweight and flexible
motion-enhancing properties. A well-fitted heel, which better secures the shoe
on the foot, as well as a wider forefoot and slimmer rounded toe, allow for
more natural, ergonomic foot movement. A partial lining lends a clean,
deconstructed feel and keeps the shoe significantly light. Lunarlon cushioning
technology in the mid-sole is encased within an outsole featuring micro-diamond
tread textures and rubber toe pods to maximize traction and adaptability on
unforgiving concrete streets—a competitive advantage in the city that never
sleeps.
Built
on a classic Cole Haan last with a leather welt detail and crafted in premium
suede uppers, the LunarGrand gracefully retains its iconic wingtip silhouette. The
men’s and women’s Cole Haan LunarGrand Wingtip is now available exclusively at the following Cole
Haan Philippines Stores:
