As Cole Haan works to expand their offerings and explore new categories of performance and lifestyle product, the concept of a winterized city sneaker came to fruition. This shoe was built to seamlessly integrate into the wearer’s wardrobe by taking inspiration from various sub categories of footwear. A little dress casual, a little sport, and a little outdoor, all in one place. The City Trekker Boot joins an already extensive family of 4.Zerogrand product; the fourth iteration of the brand’s unique identity. The considerations here were regarding alpine inspiration, ease of entry, enhanced heel support, and subliminal branding.
