Ronnie Fieg presents: The Sebago Nexus Project

Ronnie Fieg has always been about pushing the envelope with his designs, and this time he has gone even farther and pushed the way shoe are designed. Over the Summer and Fall of this year, Ronnie will be releasing a collection of shoes and boots created through the Sebago Nexus Project.

The project launched in the Dominican Republic, where Ronnie took fashion forward bloggers Greg Weinstein, William Yan, Joshua Kissi & Travis Gumbs, Marcus Troy, and Jake Davis and worked hand in hand with them to create 10 shoe designs. Combine the energy and design eye of these internet blogger and the quality and authentic craftsmanship of the Sebago line, and you have something that not only celebrates Sebago’s New England roots, but also underscores their commitment to bring innovative, nautically-inspired footwear to those who love style and value uncommon quality. Only 48 pairs of each shoe will be produced making the total 480, and making the shoe’s instant collectables. The full press release is listed below.

Press Release

Ten shoe designs. Five bloggers. One never before seen, done, or even attempted collection. The Nexus Project breaks all the rules and redefines what collaboration means. Wanting to create a collection that not only steps it up but also stands out, Sebago® called on one of the most innovative thinkers in the footwear industry around. Ronnie Fieg. A footwear designer and Sebago enthusiast, Fieg in turn reached out to the fashion-forward blogosphere and recruited some of today’s hottest lifestyle bloggers. Greg Weinstein. William Yan. Joshua Kissi & Travis Gumbs. Marcus Troy. Jake Davis. Each serving up a different energy and perspective that’s given the Nexus Project more bang than the Internet has blogs. Led by Fieg, each blogger designed two shoes that represented their own style ethos. The only mandates? Use the best materials available and honor Sebago’s long-loved heritage of authentic craftsmanship. Given the shoemaker’s 60+ year legacy and tenacious dedication to handcrafted perfection, nothing less was acceptable. Thankfully, after visiting the Sebago factory for a hands-on crash course by master cobblers, it wasn’t hard to live up to the Sebago standard. The results? A collection that not only celebrates Sebago’s New England roots, but also underscores our commitment to bring innovative, nautically-inspired footwear to those who love style and value uncommon quality. All of which helps further the reputation of our time-honored traditions.
Handmade in limited quantities of just forty-eight pairs each, only 480 style seekers will ever enjoy what can very well be the finest collaborative collection we’ve ever produced. Authentic. Inspiring. Groundbreaking. Courtesy of Sebago, Ronnie Fieg, and some fiercely talented tastemakers.
