The school season is almost upon us and that means chic and sophisticated outfits are in store (at least, for those who want to channel their inner 'Gossip Girl' persona) and the Cole Haan Handpainted Collection offers the perfect footwear for strutting down the halls of these educational institutions. A series of oxford footwear for both men and women, they feature premium leather material as well as careful, handcrafted detailing that will set them apart from other typical dress shoes.
In fact, the Cole Haan Handpainted Collection were hand-painted in an intensive 11-step process, giving their signature saddle Oxfords a color-blocked makeover. Both the women (Stephanie Air Oxord Pump) and men (Air Colton Saddle Oxford) versions boast Nike Air technology, ensuring that feet will stay comfortable during those long days in class.
