loading...
Footwear brand Florsheim has partnered with Chicago-based Horween Leather Company to create a capsule collection for Fall/Winter 2025.
The capsule collection sees Horween apply its premium Essex leather to traditional Florheim styles, creating a range of refined, timeless designs. Inspired by heritage design, the process of ageing leather, and Chicago’s industrial roots, the Florsheim x Horween collection celebrates the art of craftsmanship.
“We are very excited to be working with Horween. This partnership allows us to put their incredible leathers front and center with our most loved designs,” said John Florsheim, President and Chief Operating Officer of Weyco Group Incorporated, in a statement.
“At Florsheim, we have stayed committed to creating high-quality shoes that not only look great but also stand the test of time. When working with Horween’s leather, you can tell the feel, the durability, and how it will develop character over time, which is superb. Horween’s leathers bring an integrity to our designs that resonates with the Florsheim legacy and aligns with what today’s customer is looking for.”
Consisting of three Flosheim silhouettes in light and dark leathers, the Florsheim x Horween capsule includes the Renegade Lux Boot, Heist Lux Sneaker, and Vibe Lux Oxford. Each pair of shoes is meticulously constructed, with Horween leather designed to age gracefully and tell the unique story of the wearer with time.
“There’s a real sense of pride on our end when we see our leather being used in such beautifully crafted shoes,” says Arnold ‘Skip’ Horween, President of Horween, in a statement. “For us, it’s more than just providing a material; it’s about seeing our craftsmanship meet Florsheim’s heritage and creating something special together.”
“We pour so much into the manufacturing process, focusing on quality and character, and to see that translated into a shoe that people will wear and enjoy means so much to us here at Horween.”
The Florsheim x Horween capsule collection is set to launch exclusively online on August 11 at www.florsheim.com. Prices for the collection range from 195 to 225 US dollars.
