Another day, another shoe collection. It’s fair to say we love our shoes here and now we have a Selectism favourite in Grenson, who’ve given us a full look into the AW09 collection (which we previewed back in February). Out of all the classic shoe makers, Grenson have been making the most moves, collaborating with everyone from Rag & Bone to Albam (and there’s more collabs in the pipeline, check back here for news on that later). Sticklers for authenticity will be glad to know that they still make their shoes in Northampton to the same exacting standards of yesteryear – the same can’t be said for many of their competitors.
The collection itself still sticks to their classic Grenson staples (Archie, Noble, Oscar, etc) but they have pushed the boat out slightly with a patent leather Sharp brogue boot and a couple of other fashion-forward touches. Brogue-wise, they’ve got both the American and British style with the Archie and Frankie – while we prefer the English brogue (Archie) there’s something for longtip lovers as well.
Take a look at the rest of the collection after the jump.

Unfortunately, Grenson shoes still being made in Northampton is not strictly true. All the shoes from the Rushden collection are actually made in India, albeit to excellent standards.
Does anyone know when these will be available in stores?
They’ll be out around August. We’ll do an update when they drop in stores.
