Grenson x Tenue de Nîmes – Factory report

Since most of us need something on our feet day today, I’m going to be looking at boots and shoes from time to time here. And I’ve got a damn fine specimen with which to start that trend: Grenson x Tenue de Nimes brogue boots. In November last year Tenue de Nimes visited the Grenson factory in Rushden, Northamptonshire to salute the construction of the first Grenson x Tenue de Nimes shoe. The company developed a black Tenue de Nîmes interpretation of the Grenson classic: the Fred. The shoe is a limited edition high top brogue with a triple layer -blue tone- leather sole. Last week I had a meeting with Menno van Meurs, who’s one of the owners of the unique Tenue de Nimes store. Tenue de Nîmes was amazed by all the stages of English craftsmanship and decided to do a new collaboration with Grenson (this is definitely a scoop). Check out these amazing pics after the jump.
