Legacy footwear brand Cole Haan has just added two new convention-breaking footwear styles to its lineup as part of its fall line. Meet the 5.ZERØGRAND Wing Ox and 5.ZERØGRAND WRK Sneaker.
The Cole Haan ZERØGRAND line has offered the ultimate hybrid of dress and casual footwear since its launch in 2014. Available in men’s sizing, the 5.ZERØGRAND Wing Ox is the more traditional style of the two. The uppers feature the classic Wing Ox look, thogh features a snug, though equipped with a cord-lacing system that embraces the contours of the foot for maximum comfort. Underfoot is a Grand 360 EVA midsole with a distinctive diamond-shaped design that allows for greater flexibility.
The 5.ZERØGRAND WRK Sneaker marks the introduction of a new category for Cole Haan: “dress-inspired streetwear.” It comes equipped with the same tooling as the Wing Ox, though the design of the upper is more casual for today’s young, urban professional. This style was first introduced with a STAPLE collab, though is now offered in new in-line colorways for both men and women.
“Since its inception, the Cole Haan ZERØGRAND collection has exemplified reinvention with purpose, by seamlessly combining craft and innovation. What started as a simple dress shoe that was unbelievably light and flexible, has evolved into a thoroughly modern collection which has become an industry leader and worldwide best seller,” says David Maddocks, Brand President of Cole Haan.
“With its distinct flex grooves and business as un(usual) mentality, the launch of 5.ZERØGRAND builds upon Cole Haan’s lasting legacy of groundbreaking design and engineering. Not only do these products pay homage to the inaugural ZERØGRAND line but also address the needs of a new generation of consumers who get dressed from the feet up.”
