Goodyear A/W 13 Footwear Collection

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has

grown from humble beginnings to become

one of the most iconic brands in the world.

In spite of the many obstacles in front of them

since they created the company back in 1898

the motivated team behind Goodyear helped

drive the brand forward and inspire the culture

of dynamism, development and innovation that

endures today.

Given that tyres and shoes share a common

need for grip, traction, performance and durability,

it’s no surprise that Goodyear has been making

a mark in the footwear business since 1901.

From the rubber of Goodyear’s tyres to the rubber

on the soles of their shoes, product bearing the

Goodyear logo will perform in all conditions.

Whether it is their work on the golf course or their

projects in conjunction with powerhouses such

as Adidas, Goodyear have applied the same

dynamic, results driven approach.

The rugged durable qualities at the centre of the

Goodyear ethos have been married seamlessly

with both timeless and directional styles in the

AW’13 latest footwear collection.

Goodyear’s iconic and celebrated footwear

continues to be hugely popular. For AW’13 we

see a number of exciting new additions to the

brands famous offering.

The Vermont and its bigger brother the Maine

are both brilliant contemporary renditions of the

timeless Brogue. The Vermont comes in a deep

tan, or rich black with a premium leather sole,

upper and insole. The Maine uses the same

premium materials and design cues as the

Vermont, but an extended high collar sees it

develop it into a superb winterised boots.

AW’13 sees Goodyear offering a more formal take

on the Brogue. The Utah benefits from the same

top-spec leathers on the upper and the sole,

however a formal pointed toe makes these striking

shoes, which come in dark hues of black and bro

a smart, versatile must have.

In contrast to the elaborate styling of the Vermont

and the Maine Goodyear’s Denver is a rugged

Derby shoe and comes in a heritage inspired,

durable waxed leather. This shoe will handle

anything the colder months can throw at it. The

Seattle uses the same heavy-duty materials and

construction as the Denver, but this time they are

applied to a contemporary desert boot style

shoe to create the perfect stylish option as

winter draws in.

The Chicago is a clean, modern shoe. A lower

profile and premium matte leather finish, coupled

with the sleek design and clean lines make the

Chicago a versatile option that pairs heritage

and design for the 21st century. The stunning

Nevada comes in crumpled black leather, which

contrasts the brown welted sole and the striking

reflex blue lining.

As winter draws in footwear connoisseurs

will rejoice at the site of the Canada boot.

A monstrous, fur-lined boot constructed in the

timeless duck boot style and using waterproof

fabrics the Canada is ready for anything. This

superbly designed boot will offer warmth and

protection in even the harshest of conditions.
