Enjoy Every Day, Rain or Shine

As children, we all loved the rain. The mere sight of it would lift our spirits, and we’d play in the mud without a care, our umbrellas forgotten. Where did that ticklish, nostalgic feeling go? In our busy lives, chasing after work, perhaps we’ve lost something precious in our pursuit of more. Yet, contrary to such thoughts, rainy days still dampen our spirits more than the weather itself. Practicality aside, wearing galoshes with a suit is simply absurd. This is precisely when we need a strong ally for our business attire.
Cole Haan's waterproof Air Jayden collection features a beautiful Japan Last, designed to fit the Japanese foot shape. Beyond their smart design, the full rubber cup soles with built-in heels offer supreme comfort. The Nike Air technology embedded in the heel provides just the right amount of cushioning, even on hard concrete. Most importantly, these shoes truly shine on those dreary rainy days. The calfskin uppers, treated with a special poly-pore finish, ensure unparalleled dryness and comfort.
These shoes, more reliable than their handsome appearance suggests, are sure to bring back that nostalgic feeling from our childhood.
The elegant last perfectly complements a suit.
