Abstract
- BEAMS Plus and Rancourt & Co. have collaborated on the Canoe Moc Tie, a basic Northeastern Summer time staple set for launch on June 14.
BEAMS Plus has garnered a various roster of world shoe collaborators, from Dr. Martens to Birkenstock. Nonetheless, maybe probably the most becoming companions for the Americana/Prep-inspired label are these rooted within the custom of distinctly American craft. The Japanese model’s newly unveiled collaboration with Maine-based Rancourt & Co. carries that very inventive tradition to the current, reprising a basic Canoe Moccasin for right now’s buyer.
The Canoe Moc Tie emerges from Rancourt & Co.’s decades-long specialization in moccasin manufacturing since its start in Maine in 1964. The elegant pair encompasses a deep burnished calfskin higher with a basic leather-based sole. Braided leather-based shoelace that continues alongside the collar, emphasizing the craft-forward and coastal inspirations. Every shoe is rigorously hand-sewn by expert artisans, giving the ultimate product a meticulous high quality incomparable to machine stitching.
Moccasins, Boat Footwear, Loafers, and the like are staples of New England type, exhibiting up with explicit prominence within the twentieth century with the emergence of prep and Ivy type codes. With menswear usually transferring by way of an elevated design aesthetic (i.e., the 2025 Met Gala theme, sneaker idler tendencies, classic timepieces, and so forth), the Canoe Moc Tie has a softer enchantment with its delicate braided bows and patinated leather-based. One can simply envision the pair worn each on deck and on the dock on the peak of Maine’s summer season.
The BEAMS Plus x Rancourt & Co. Canoe Moc Tie is about for launch on June 14 at BEAMS PLUS Harajuku, BEAMS PLUS Marunouchi, BEAMS Kobe, and the model’s official internet retailer.
