Cole Haan Zerogrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxford

The Cole Haan Zerogrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxford is a flagship hybrid footwear product that combines the traditional aesthetics of a brogue dress shoe with the lightweight, breathable technology of a performance sneaker. Featuring a proprietary 'Stitchlite' knit upper, these shoes provide targeted support and ventilation, while the 'Zerogrand' cushioning system and flexible grooves in the sole allow for natural foot movement throughout the day.

Founded in 1928 by Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan in Chicago, Cole Haan established itself as a premier American luxury craft brand focusing on quality leather goods and men's dress shoes. Over the decades, the company shifted from traditional craftsmanship to integrating modern comfort technologies. Today, the brand is widely known for pioneering the 'dress-sneaker' category, making it a staple for business-casual attire.

Cole Haan is currently owned by the private equity firm Apax Partners, which acquired the company from Nike in 2013 to focus on its identity as an independent premium lifestyle brand. While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing operations are primarily based in Vietnam and other international locations to manage global supply chains and high-tech textile production.
