What led you to working with Cole Haan? Did the company's heritage play a part in this decision?

Through my longstanding relationship with Nike, I was introduced to Cole Haan. As a brand, Cole Haan embodies all the right qualities I was looking for in a partnership: high quality craftsmanship, use of innovative technology and authentic style.
