American footwear power duo Florsheim x Esquivel has teamed up once again for a very attractive Spring/Summer 2016 collection. The shoe collaboration has the Florsheim’s traditional feel with Esquivel’s modern aesthetic to create a collection of luxurious suede oxfords for men and women. Crafted at Esquivel’s atelier in Orange County, the collection draws inspiration from the time-honored Florsheim look reinvented with Esquivel’s fresh spin on the classics. Offered in vibrant pink, blue, grey, and white with turquoise stitching for women; as well as classic black, taupe, earthy beige and white for men, the shoes feature an asymmetric toe medallion of the letters “E” and “F” to symbolize the collaborative spirit.
George Esquivel has dreamt of working with Florsheim ever since he bought his first pair of vintage shoes 24 years ago, a pair of pebbled leather Florsheim long-wings. To him, they represent a piece of true American heritage, which he always remembered as he went on to build his namesake footwear brand, gaining recognition for his line of innovative, handmade styles.
The Florsheim x Esquivel summer collection starts at $495 and will be available for purchase on April 18th, 2016 via www.florsheimxesquivel.com.
