Chukka model makes its Japan debut
Cole Haan continues to deliver innovative footwear, blending sophisticated design with cutting-edge technology like waterproofing and Nike Air. The new "LUNARGRAND" model, which utilizes Nike's "LUNARLON" air system to create a sensation of "walking on the moon," offers a unique and novel design that fuses past and future. Launched in New York in February, it captivated not only New Yorkers but also quickly became a trending topic on Facebook and Twitter. Its subsequent release in Tokyo in May saw queues forming for purchase.
The "COLE HAAN & FRAGMENT DESIGN LUNARGRAND COLLECTION," available for a limited time, features two wingtip models and the debut chukka model, totaling three styles. Following its New York debut, the collection is rolling out globally, including in Tokyo.
The wingtip and chukka models, in a combination of black and white, showcase the signature contemporary design aesthetic of "Fragment Design." The casual white sole provides an exquisite balance, accentuating the scotch grain leather of the upper.
Additionally, the wingtip featuring waterproof-coated white PATEY collar leather and a navy sole presents a remarkably vibrant image. All models bear the embossed Fragment Design logo on the tongue as a mark of collaboration.
The addition of "Fragment Design's" essence to the innovative "LUNARGRAND" design results in a collection with even greater appeal. As these are limited editions, early inspection is highly recommended.
