Brave GentleMan has built a reputation and cult-following that started in 2010 with gorgeous, high-quality footwear. Now, with their summer 2016 collection dropping just days ago, the label known for European-made, classic, sleek and lux shoes is not just for men anymore. The entire range of 10 summer styles, from desert boots and longwings to double-monks and balmorals, now also come in women’s sizes.
Unisex, androgynous and genderless fashion is one of the most exciting evolutions in the industry, and sometimes, nothing brings an outfit together like a pair of classic men’s kicks. “Menswear looks great on everyone”, noted Founder and designer Joshua Katcher, who also teaches fashion at Parsons The News School in New York City. “One of our most common requests from customers is for women’s sizes, and I’m so thrilled to finally be fulfilling that request.”
The entire range of shoes and boots are made in collaboration with New York brand, Novacas. The Brave Gentleman x Novacas footwear line is expertly crafted in Europe with high-tech, supple and strong Italian microfiber “future-leather”, as Katcher likes to call it. “I know people, myself included, who’ve had the soles replaced but still have their original pair from six years ago. These shoes last and the styles are timeless and cool. This truly is superior to animal leather; it’s more weather resistant, stronger and more customizable with a far smaller ecological footprint.”
Brave GentleMan is a vegan owned and operated company, so no problematic animal materials are ever used, and in fact, the uppers are EU- Ecolabel certified – a stringent environmental certification.
