JACK ROGERS TO LAUNCH FIRST LINE OF MEN’S FOOTWEAR
Famed footwear brand Jack Rogers has unveiled its first collection of men’s shoes, which will hit stores on February 1, 2016. Known for its ladies’ footwear since the 1960s, the company has now created 13 men’s styles in a range of colorway to complement its women’s offerings.
Among the styles to be offered are the Paxton driver, which comes in both leather and suede; the Tanner slip-on; the Sullivan sandal, which comes with accents of plaid and seersucker; and the Kane slide. Some styles will come with the brand’s “JR” embroidered logo, and the lines feature Rogers’ signature leather whipstitching and proprietary outsoles.
Prices range from $128 to $178. Distribution will include such department stores as Nordstrom’s, Dillard’s, and Belk’s, as well as Rogers’ own stores and online.
“Jack Rogers is a lifestyle brand. As such, it naturally lends itself to both women and men,” said CEO and creative director Claire Schultheiss in a statement. “Given the rapid growth the brand is experiencing, including expanding internationally, we felt this was the right time to launch our men’s line.”
