Cole Haan footwear and accessories celebrate the art of fine craftsmanship through timeless design. They began in Chicago in 1928. Their name comes from Trafton Cole, who created Cole Haan's reputation for quality and incredible craftsmanship, and Eddie Haan, the man who made it all about service and style. Originally Cole Haan was a men's footwear label and it typified the spirit of the '20s, when style was everything and quality was assumed. Footwear was beautifully designed and very well made.

Today Cole Haan brings that heritage to all its products, including men's and women's dress and casual footwear, belts, hosiery, handbags, small leather goods, fine outerwear and watches. Today too Cole Haan is recognized for exciting innovation. A perfect example is Cole Haan footwear with Nike Air Technology, as seen below.
