John Lobb Partners with Aston Martin to Launch Lightweight Driver’s Shoe

Co-designed by Aston Martin’s Director of Design Marek Reichman and John Lobb’s Creative Director Andrés Hernández, the Winner Sport shoe is billed as being aerodynamic and with finely-tuned detailing, in keeping with Aston Martin automobiles.

The shoe is made from full-grain calfskin and lined with supple sheepskin. Soft padding has been added at the ankle for comfort, and metallic eyeles, punched with a wheel of fine holes, are another nod to Aston Martin cars.

Unlike the more formal, welted John Lobb shoes, Winner Sport is created with a specially-engineered bonded rubber sole that wraps beneath the shoe, giving a sleek line and a sporting feel.

Available in a range of colour combinations, Winter Sport is being previewed at the opening of the new Aston Martin W-One store in London’s Park Lane this month, before being made available at selected John Lobb and Aston Martin stores worldwide from May.
