First popularized on Ivy League campuses in the 1950s, the Pinch defines both American style and Cole Haan craftsmanship. The Pinch name is derived from the manner in which a cobbler pinches the leather as it’s sewn together. While the Pinch Weekender preserves this timeless profile, it also features new materials and colors and introduces the crustacean logo, a nod to Cole Haan’s rich New England history rooted in Yarmouth, Maine. Grand.OS, an operating system for the feet, delivers increased cushioning throughout the entire footbed, while a sneaker-like sole and wearable materials combine to make it the single most indispensable weekend shoe for the summer.
