Mr. Hare spring 2010

Gentlemen, we have very important footwear news - gravitypope is proud to add Mr. Hare to our list of brands. We have been drooling over these impeccably designed men's shoes since the AW09 collection launched and the SS10 collection 'Hot Steppers' confirmed this is a brand we MUST have.

Mr. Hare, the person, had an impressive career in PR, as a design consultant with Karrimore, was a marketing consultant for a long list of footwear and sport brands plus he opened 2 successful shops in London before starting Mr. Hare the brand - a brand that took 360 days from conception to fruition after a visit to a roadside tapas bar in Spain. Mr. Hare designs his shoes wherever he chooses. Currently handmade in Empoli (Tuscany, Italy), Mr. Hare will be made wherever the greatest manufacturer best suited to the task at hand is located.

For SS10 'Hot Steppers' is a dedication to a selection of Dancehall generals who through their sheer brilliance have given us reason to tear up the dance floors across all continents. Above the thrill of music that moves your physical and emotional state, there is only love in Mr. Hares humble opinion. For SS10, the major emphasis is on the materials. Mr. Hare wanted to create something with the presence of the AW09 'Purest Form' Collection, but with a much greater depth of character. The heart of the collection is made of Vachetta, a vegetable tanned leather that isn't produced in such an environmentally damaging way and the leather retains more of it's natural characteristics. These shoes must be polished regularly with natural bees wax polish and in return they will age and grow with you forming a unique patina and colouring that is distinct and unique. The more love you give them; the more reason they will give you to love them back.

bensimon for men

For Fall 09, gravitypope picked up some great men's styles from Bensimon. Traditionally this sneaker was constructed of canvas, but the suede tennis mids and tennis lacet are a great addition to the collection and any men's wardrobe. Fantastic in the Anthracite colour way, the maroon is equally interesting with the classic Bensimon toe cap in black, also seen on the new 2 eye lace up as well.

This long established French company started out just after WWII importing second hand clothes into France. Inspired by the surplus of army canvas sneakers, La Tennis Bensimon in suede, also available for women sizing, offers a simple luxury that is colourful and relaxed, perfect for a little bit of fun everyday.
