Cole Haan, the iconic American lifestyle brand and retailer of premium men’s and women’s footwear and accessories, is celebrating the season with its 2017 Holiday Collection, perfect for urban explorers taking on extraordinary journeys.
This Holiday season, Cole Haan celebrates the exploratory spirit of four Extra ordinaries, each dedicated to their individual journeys, with the Urban Explores Campaign. Cole Haan turns their celebration of Extra ordinaries to those out there exploring the world around them. These Extraordinary Explorers are discovering new dimensions of their city, the best of cities around the world, and the freedom of our great outdoors. The Holiday 2017 Campaign will feature New York City documentary photographer Andre Wagner, outdoor explorer and photographer Jess Dales, Bespokemeets founder Susan Ho, and designer-author Taylor Bruce, sporting hero Cole Haan 2017 Holiday wears that best reflect their craft.
Taking center stage in the Women’s Holiday 2017 collection is the GrandPro Tennis Sneaker in Metallic Gunmetal sported by Susan Ho, founder of end-to-end travel concierge Journey, who believes that extra ordinaries explore it all.
“Extraordinary people have said, ‘hey, I see a problem in the world. I felt this problem deeply, and I’m going to take it upon myself to fix it.’ And it’s hard to do something that no one’s done before. There’s no playbook for it,” said Susan Ho.
Cole Haan has eliminated the unnecessary weight of traditional court shoes without ever sacrificing the principles of flexibility, cushioning and ergonomics.
Extraordinary guides a new path.
Meanwhile, the Zerogrand Laser Wingtip Oxford in Grey Pinstrip is a highlight for the 2017 Men’s Holiday collection, as sported by Taylor Bruce, founder of Wildsam Field Guides, which capture the living history of some of America’s favorite cities.
“I like the phrase ‘a long obedience in the same direction’. When I think of extraordinary people, it’s those who have a deep expertise in some subject matter or vocation and have been heading in the same direction for a long time. It becomes hard to separate who they are and what they do,” said Bruce. The Zerogrand Laser Wingtip Oxford Grey Pinstrip is perfect for urban professionals in search for a sleek and functional city boot.
Whatever the path and whatever the terrain, Cole Haan has these extra ordinaries covered with their most comprehensive and innovative range of shoes yet.
Additionally, Cole Haan brings all time favorite styles to the forefront such as the GrandPro Tennis, Zerogrand Waterproof Hikers and the latest addition GrandExplore Waterproof Hikers, as well as the Cole Haan + Mountain Hardwear GrandExplore Parka for men and women.
“The Holiday season is a very important time for the Philippines and we are thrilled for this collection, which will help our customers celebrate one step at a time,” said Greg Dinges, EVP and GM International at Cole Haan.
The Cole Haan Holiday 2017 collection is available at Cole Haan stores in Glorietta 4, Powerplant, and Shangri-la Plaza.
