Solovair x Carhartt WIP
For Fall/Winter 2025, Carhartt WIP has collaborated with Solovair, the heritage British shoe brand, to create three exclusive, handmade leather styles. Combining Solovair’s traditional craftsmanship with Carhartt WIP’s core color palette of black, Hamilton Brown and dusky Hamilton Brown, each style is finished with Solovair’s signature Goodyear welted soft suspension sole and a subtly embossed ‘C’ Logo on the heel. A classic, three-eye Gibson construction features in black, high-shine leather, executed in a standard fit with a rounded toe. This style also appears in high-shine dusky Hamilton Brown. The third style, meanwhile, is made from soft brown suede and features a single buckle monk strap.
While Solovair (‘Sole-of-air’) officially launched in the early 1960s, the brand is produced by the Northamptonshire Productive Society (NPS), a historic footwear manufacturer founded in 1881. Over 140 years later, NPS continues to craft Solovair footwear at its South Street factory, where it has operated since 1899.
