Subtly Sporty Dress Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New Cole Haan Nike Air Collection Jumps Out in Bright Colors

— May 22, 2013 — Fashion
The Cole Haan Nike Air collaboration shows off subtly athletic oxfords, loafers and moccasins. With ultra-light cushioning and contrasting color-popping soles, these shoes are perfect for the active dressy man.

Cole Haan joined Nike in 1988. Since then, we've seen Nike's cutting edge technology meshing with everything but sneakers, even women's heels.

The New York-based brand is inspired by the streets of NYC. Its designs reflect a "future classic with enhanced cushioning, flexibility and dashing good looks, designed to conquer New York City's streets and beyond."

Some classic staples of shoes are always being revised for more than aesthetic purposes, in this case, functionality and comfort is infused to oxfords with Nike's inventive sidewalk-gripping textured outsoles.
