Cole Haan Grandpro Deck Slip-On Sneaker History
Founded by Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan, Cole Haan as we know it today wasn’t always called this way. Originally named “Cole, Rood & Haan,” the company’s name was changed as part of an early rebranding strategy. Initially a men’s footwear label, Cole Haan was built grounded in the values of providing the men with shoes of quality, excellent craftsmanship, impeccable style, and service.
Fast forward to the late 80s, Nike acquired the brand and expanded its product lineup by offering merchandise not only for the men but also for the women. The brand also added bags and accessories in their product range with the goal of broadening their market spectrum. However, in 2013 Nike decided to put Cole Haan back in the market and was bought by a company called Apax Partners Worldwide LLP.
Today, Cole Haan continues to thrive in the footwear arena and houses both dress and casual shoes. One of their many offerings is the Cole Haan GrandPro Deck Slip-On Sneaker, which took design cues from a retro skate kick. The shoe is available in a couple of colorway options such as Chalk, Marine Blue, Caviar, Brazilian Sand, and Ironstone.
