2024SS - BROTHER BRIDGE
ESCAPE II
The Escape II is based on the M43 (Type III), a particularly popular US service boot. As the most widely produced and issued boot, its comfort and high level of perfection as a boot are the foundation of modern boot manufacturing. At the time in the US, many medical researchers were involved in improving shoe comfort, and their work has been passed down to the Escape II.
ESCAPE II
Unlike the classic VINTAGE CALF leather model, this ESCAPE model has a playful stitching color and tongue, and is deliberately made with a leather sole and a toe cap for a classic finish.
The back of the sole is engraved with BROTHER BRIDGE. Carefully crafted using the Goodyear welt method.
This is a traditional boot design based on the US military M43. BROTHER BRIDGE has repeatedly updated and released it. While the original design was made using thick, hard leather, we have been crafting it using softer calfskin and grain suede.
HENRY VINTAGE CALF
The brand's iconic "HENRY" shoe is a perfect fit for BB's "MODERN VINTAGE" style.
This athletic shoe from the 1920s has been made with the Goodyear method, giving it a durable yet elegant finish. It is named after the great British boxer, Henry Cooper.
This sporty design is enhanced with the elegance of British shoes. The eyelet line and shoelaces that flow from the toe create a unique style.
HENRY VACHETTA
HENRY returns to the origins of leather shoes and is made using the finest materials and techniques.
The combination of high-quality leather tanned using the ancient Italian technique of 'Vacchetta' and traditional leather soles is the origin of leather shoemaking that has been passed down for over 100 years.
The HENRY shoes are made with the same spirit of painstaking craftsmanship using natural materials. They may feel a little stiff at first, but once they break in, you'll grow to love them even more.
In order to fully enjoy the quality of the leather, unnecessary lining and toe caps have been removed, so you can enjoy the beautiful ridged wrinkles.
ANTALYA
This pair of shoes is inspired by Middle Eastern ethnic shoes and combines the design of room shoes worn by the French military and other forces.
Unlike loafers, this design allows for a more relaxed fit. The lining is made using a Bolognese method combined with a stitch-down construction, giving it a more casual look than Goodyear.
Antalyas are made of leather, but they are not considered dress shoes, but rather casual leather shoes. In other words, they are everyday shoes that have been popular since ancient times. Before sneakers were developed, traditional leather slip-ons like these were popular.
BENDEL
The name "Belgian Shoes" comes from the fact that Henri Bendel, the founder of the long-established luxury department store "Henri Bendel" on New York's 5th Avenue, created these shoes together with Belgian shoemakers. Traditional Belgian shoes are delicate and have thin soles, but we've reconstructed them to add volume to suit BB's traditional and street style. At first glance, they have a European feel, but when paired with wide-leg pants, they create just the right balance.
PALERMO
These leather sandals, traditionally worn in resort areas, have been given a refined BROTHER BRIDGE touch. Thong sandals are a classic sandal design, but their drawbacks include pain between the toes and difficulty walking. Palermo sandals retain the benefits of thong sandals while adding an instep strap for comfort, even when walking for long periods of time.
GOGH
This shoe was inspired by traditional Dutch work shoes, wooden clogs, and is based on a vintage Manson wooden shoe tree.
This wooden last has an oblique toe that matches the shape of the foot. This wooden last was commonly used in America and Germany, and what are called clog shoes are sometimes made using a relatively simple method,
The Van Gogh shoes are made using the Goodyear method, typical of BROTHERBRIDGE, making them a pair of shoes that can be worn for a long time.
