Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Coach CitySole Sneakers Reference Basketball & Running Styles

— February 3, 2020 — Fashion
Coach is introducing the Coach CitySole as a new footwear collection that's fashion-forward and functional. These shoes are making their debut in the Spring 2020 campaign and can be seen on the global faces of the house, Jennifer Lopez and Michael Jordan.

While the sporty CitySole Court style boasts a triangular toe box that references classic basketball sneakers, plus a pivot point on the outsole and 3M seam taping. The style of the Coach CitySole Runner borrows from running shoes and has details for added traction. In the new footwear collection, there's also the CitySole Lowline, which represents Coach's take on a classic low-top style.

Throughout February, the Coach CitySole sneakers will be featured at pop-ups in New York City within the Foot Locker and Bloomingdale's flagships.
