FLORSHEIM RE-ISSUES THREE BOOT STYLES FROM ITS ARCHIVES FOR 125TH ANNIVERSARY

In celebration of footwear brand Florsheim‘s 125th Anniversary, the company has released three limited-edition boots for fall that are based on previously-made styles in its archives.

The team at Florsheim looked through its vault of past and original styles created in the early 1900s as inspiration and re-imagined three classic silhouettes, some of which originally served as combat boots for American soldiers in World War I and World War II.

Each pair is handcrafted with leather from Horween Leather Co, one of the oldest running U.S. tanneries, and retail between $250 and $275. Only 125 pairs of each style will be released and individually numbered inside the shoe.

This collection is the next drop in this special celebration series. Just this past spring, the brand re-issued two oxford styles in celebration of its anniversary.

This American heritage shoe brand has remained in the forefront of men’s fashion over the past few years with its collaborations with designers Duckie Brown and George Esquivel; its partnership with self-taught artist Ben Smith on one-of-a-kind bespoke footwear; and its support for emerging and established fashion designers, such as Willy Chavarria, Nick Graham, and Ernest Alexander, during New York Fashion Week: Men.
