These shoes are the Cole Haan ØriginalGrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxfords, a signature model from the American lifestyle brand. They are known for blending the traditional aesthetics of a leather wingtip dress shoe with the modern performance and breathability of a knit 'Stitchlite' upper. The specific knit pattern visible on the toe area, often referred to as a medallion, is achieved through zonally designed stitching that includes pointelle details to optimize airflow.

Cole Haan was founded in 1928 and has evolved from a classic heritage shoemaker into a modern innovation leader in footwear. The company utilizes various global manufacturing hubs, with products commonly sourced from countries such as Vietnam, India, and China. Ownership of the brand has shifted over its history; after being owned by Nike, it was acquired by the private equity firm Apax Partners in 2013 and eventually became an independent public company listed on the NASDAQ as Cole Haan, Inc.
