Cole HaanGlobal lifestyle brand and retailer Cole Haan has launched its newest shoe, the ZerøGrand Stitchlite, a stylish transformation of the traditional leather Wingtip Oxford. Taking shape in a distinctive knit style, the shoe delivers improvements in lightness and breathability through its construction.

The men’s styles are available in an array of colorways like burnt orange, optic white and marine blue. With a nod to the brand’s heritage, subtle leather details accompany the men’s styles. Rubber pods on the forefoot and heel allow for an improved grip on any surface while a signature Grand.ØS energy foam footbed and unit sole provide cushioning for comfort.

“ZerøGrand Stitchlite is our newest elegant innovation as we continue our quest to reimagine and reinvent the definition of dress footwear,” said Jack Boys, chief executive officer at Cole Haan. “We are excited to deliver this outstanding shoe to customers that is as comfortable in the office as they are about town.”

Cole Haan_Mens_ZERØGRAND Stitchlite™“This groundbreaking oxford features zonally designed dynamic stitching and static tight gauge-stitching to create a customized, foot-hugging fit while open, pointelle-stitching details improve breathability and moisture control,” added Scott Patt, vice president of design and innovation at the Cole Haan Global Innovation Center in New Hampshire. “The upper design of the ZerøGrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxford works in harmony with an anatomically engineered outsole mimicking the natural motion of the foot.”

The ZerøGrand Stitchlite collection is available now on ColeHaan.com and in U.S. and international Cole Haan stores.
