This season, Rockport collaborates with Barbour for a limited edition collection. Rockport took inspiration from Barbour to inform their design and then added adiPRENE® by adidas to create a stylish yet completely walkable shoe. For this special collection they used suede leather from CF Stead, one of the most respected tanners of suede leather in the world. CF Stead specializes in the tanning, dying and finishing of high-grade suedes and specialty leathers with interesting grains giving each product a unique appearance.
You can the limited edition collection at Bloomingdale’s, Paragon Sports (NY), The Tannery (Boston), Zappos.com as well as other specialty retailers around the US.
In 1971 Rockport founder Saul Katz and his son Bruce had a simple philosophy: engineer comfortable shoes using the latest in advanced technologies.
Forty years later, Rockport carries this philosophy forward to create the most walkable shoes through innovative outsole architecture and integrating technologies by adidas®. We create footwear that is sophisticated and stylish without compromising comfort or function.
Established 1894 in South Shields, North-East England. The legendary maker of weatherproof clothing. A British brand to the core. Iconic and authentic, Barbour thrives on the unique values of the British countryside. Quality, durability and fitness for purpose have been the guiding principles for more than 100 years. The result is stylish, functional products that perform in any environment.
