Building on the December issuing of a new saddle shoe and penny tassel loafer, this release brings two additional new styles: The Cole Haan & fragment design LunarGrand Long Wing and the Cole Haan & fragment design LunarGrand Venetian Bit. Innovative hybrids of traditional men’s shoe and street-ready modern footwear, both styles update classic looks for the 21st century.
For the first-ever LunarGrand Long Wing brogue, fragment’s Hiroshi Fujiwara created three colorways: Black grain leather with gray midsole, white grain leather with white midsole, and blue suede with black midsole. All three shoes are made of genuine cow leather, including the full leather lining and full-length cover of the Foam latex footbed.
The distinctive perforation patterns are inspired by traditional brogues, the ornamented footwear style that made its way from Highland bogs to fashionable London drawing rooms. A less conventional accent, the longer wing adds a hint of sleekness, and LunarGrand midsoles help make this a lighter, more versatile version of the classic brogue that’s ideally suited to the modern moment.
