Timberland's Mens summer Boot: The Cityblazer

Timberland’s boot-making expertise stretches out across the seasons with the introduction of the bold CityBlazer: transforming a cold-weather staple into a lightweight, summer silhouette ready for the urban landscape.

Ever the modernisers, Timberland respond to calls for a high boot that could function during the warmer months, providing the look and feel of classic Timberland boots without the weight and bulk. Reliable and rugged, the CityBlazer channels the DNA of the brand into a responsive, style-lead collection with a contemporary outlook.

 An advanced design relies on advanced innovation; the CityBlazer employs two key developments to create this summer-ready boot.
 Firstly, to produce an amazingly light boot the sole has been completely transformed. Made up of 50% air, an ultra-lightweight injection moulded midsole meets a comfortable and adaptable high rebound PU compound and a tough, grooved outsole for a stable ride. Each step delivered with ease and flexibility.
 Secondly, in line with Timberland’s commitment to sustainability, the company calls on Thread, a Haiti-based organisation crafting high-quality, ethical cloths from recycled materials, “Responsible fabric from ground to good.” Transforming discarded bottles into durable cloths, Thread provides jobs, creates income opportunities and encourages cleaner neighbourhoods.

JOHN LOBB FILM LAUNCH - A Singular Journey‏

In 1851 a farmer’s son by the name of John Lobb set foot on what was to become an exceptional journey of accomplishment. Aged 22, Lobb left his home in rural Cornwall and walked to London, carried only by his handmade boots.

 The film opens with a map of Cornwall as it would have looked in the 19th century, introducing the villages Lobb journeyed through on his travels, many of which have informed the names of new styles in the Autumn | Winter collection.



A Singular Journey from John Lobb on Vimeo.
Directed by Lisa Gunning, the film depicts a young John Lobb venturing through the rugged Cornish countryside until he eventually reaches the city London.
The film's title; A Singular Journey, signifies not only this epic adventure, but the life of John Lobb himself. The voiced poem, commissioned especially for the film, is written by Cornish poet CP Nield and represents that of an older John Lobb looking back at his life.

MR HARE : Ready-to-Wear Launch for Spring Summer 2016‏

Mr. Hare, London’s men’s shoe company, launches Ready-to-Wear for Spring Summer 2016 to accompany its contemporary shoe line. Renowned for dressing some of the most discerning male feet in the world, Mr. Hare now is dressing the whole man, from the ground up

Breaking from the confines of tailoring and the assumed formal look, the first collection is inspired by the ceremonial dress of certain African tribes where the traditional western suit was not a natural consideration, yet the garments convey importance and are symbolic of a man’s stature.

For the debut RTW collection, the perfect trouser has been designed for each shoe category, and separates have been developed to pair across the range of silhouettes. The way all real shoe men dress.

In addition Mr Hare have worked with Cutler and Gross for eyewear. The partnership derived from a shared passion of quality craftsmanship and meticulously sourced materials. The styles selected compliment Mr Hare’s first ready-to-wear collection taking the language of the classics and contemporizing them to be right for the moment, yet still able to stand the test of time.
