SS14 is the tenth Mr. Hare collection and it contains all the best shoes from the previous nine collections alongside side some new styles which address any gaps I have noticed along the way. My goal was always to create the perfect shoe wardrobe for myself, so anytime there is a gap, I just fill it with a new shoe.
But let’s start by highlighting the new styles. Part of my mission has always been to take the shoes deemed the wrongest and pull them towards the right. This season’s chosen wrong’en is the infamous poolslider. Our version comes in a flat, black rubberized leather with a glow in the dark sole. If you really want to switch it up, we also do an exotic stingray or python version.
Due to the delayed summers we are experiencing up in the northern hemisphere a few winter styles have been Summer-ised, so we have unlined, unstructured work boots and engineer boots in oiled suedes and thin calf skins which have no problem with switchable spring weather.
All our classic styles like the Miller, Monk, Genet, Penet, Bernard and Wilde have all had leather upgrades, using our finest soft calf skin to date. For the classic Spring Summer styles like the King Tubby, Thelonious and Sergio we have reverted to deep soft Tuscan suedes just like the ones we used at the beginning. There is no better skin for summer shoes.
So here’s to another ten collections and all the things I will have learned about shoes by then.
