“The Reserve Collection demonstrates our belief in the power of
the Allen Edmonds brand and commitment to raising the bar on
American Luxury. By championing American craftsmanship, deepening
our focus on sustainability, elevating and expanding our market
presence, we are ensuring that Allen Edmonds will continue to lead
as an iconic American heritage luxury brand,” said Jay Schmidt,
president and CEO of Caleres.
The Reserve Collection celebrates Allen Edmonds' unwavering
devotion to American artisanship. Each Reserve Collection pair is
meticulously handcrafted in the Port Washington, Wisconsin, factory
by the nation's most skilled makers, using only the finest
leathers. Inspired by the brand’s rich archives, every shoe
undergoes a rigorous process that includes hand-stitching,
staining, and painting to achieve the perfect patina. The use of
revitalized heritage machinery adds signature wheeling details on
Goodyear welts, while modernizing legacy lasts for a contemporary
fit.
Produced in limited quantities, The Reserve Collection features
eight distinctive styles, including brogues, loafers, cap-toes, and
derby boots, with retail prices starting at $800 to $3,000 for rare
leathers. In line with the brand’s long-standing belief that
quality is the original form of sustainability, these shoes are
designed to endure and can be revitalized through the Allen Edmonds
signature Recraft program.
Founded in 1922, Allen Edmonds has always championed the belief
that the traditional way of making shoes is the best way. This
philosophy is vividly demonstrated in The Reserve Collection.
The Reserve Collection will be supported by a dedicated campaign
titled “An Exhibition of Distinction,” photographed by Cliff Watts
and featuring American model legend Sean O'Pry. The Reserve
Collection will be available in September at select retailers,
including Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and Allen Edmonds stores
across the country,
