Goodyear A/W 13 Footwear Collection





The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has
grown from humble beginnings to become
one of the most iconic brands in the world.
In spite of the many obstacles in front of them
since they created the company back in 1898
the motivated team behind Goodyear helped
drive the brand forward and inspire the culture
of dynamism, development and innovation that
endures today.


Given that tyres and shoes share a common
need for grip, traction, performance and durability,
it’s no surprise that Goodyear has been making
a mark in the footwear business since 1901.
From the rubber of Goodyear’s tyres to the rubber
on the soles of their shoes, product bearing the
Goodyear logo will perform in all conditions.
Whether it is their work on the golf course or their
projects in conjunction with powerhouses such
as Adidas, Goodyear have applied the same
dynamic, results driven approach.
The rugged durable qualities at the centre of the
Goodyear ethos have been married seamlessly
with both timeless and directional styles in the
AW’13 latest footwear collection.

Goodyear’s iconic and celebrated footwear
continues to be hugely popular. For AW’13 we
see a number of exciting new additions to the
brands famous offering.
The Vermont and its bigger brother the Maine
are both brilliant contemporary renditions of the
timeless Brogue. The Vermont comes in a deep
tan, or rich black with a premium leather sole,
upper and insole. The Maine uses the same
premium materials and design cues as the
Vermont, but an extended high collar sees it
develop it into a superb winterised boots.
AW’13 sees Goodyear offering a more formal take
on the Brogue. The Utah benefits from the same
top-spec leathers on the upper and the sole,
however a formal pointed toe makes these striking
shoes, which come in dark hues of black and bro
a smart, versatile must have.

In contrast to the elaborate styling of the Vermont
and the Maine Goodyear’s Denver is a rugged
Derby shoe and comes in a heritage inspired,
durable waxed leather. This shoe will handle
anything the colder months can throw at it. The
Seattle uses the same heavy-duty materials and
construction as the Denver, but this time they are

applied to a contemporary desert boot style
shoe to create the perfect stylish option as
winter draws in.
The Chicago is a clean, modern shoe. A lower
profile and premium matte leather finish, coupled
with the sleek design and clean lines make the
Chicago a versatile option that pairs heritage
and design for the 21st century. The stunning
Nevada comes in crumpled black leather, which
contrasts the brown welted sole and the striking
reflex blue lining.

As winter draws in footwear connoisseurs
will rejoice at the site of the Canada boot.
A monstrous, fur-lined boot constructed in the
timeless duck boot style and using waterproof
fabrics the Canada is ready for anything. This
superbly designed boot will offer warmth and
protection in even the harshest of conditions.
