It was 24 years ago when George Esquivel bought his first pair of vintage shoes, a pair of Florsheim long-wings in brown pebble leather. The designer went on to build his namesake footwear brand, gaining recognition for his innovative styles, all handmade in California. As we all know, the world is small, and through an elaborate chain of connections and friends, John and Tom Florsheim were introduced to George Esquivel. With a shared love for craftsmanship, quality materials and innovation – they began discussing a collaboration. The collection is a celebration of American footwear, its legacy and its future.
