ECCO’s Metropole Collection Takes on Footwear for the Modern Family

  • By Charmaine Tan

ECCO’s Autumn Winter 2023 collection is an ode to family’s positive and inspiring sense of community, the new Metropole collection being a series of classics that grow with you through life.

The paths we walk in life are never walked on alone. We journey through ups and downs with colleagues and comrades on parallel lanes, our chosen families an integral factor to reaching our fullest potentials. At ECCO, its new Men’s Autumn Winter 2023 Metropole collection explores these values of community in an array of footwear silhouettes made for maximum comfort and sustainability, each a trusty companion that embraces the natural beauty of imperfection and authenticity.

Just as the campaign images picture communities in camaraderie, inspired by the spirit of solidarity during the lockdown period, the carefully-crafted ECCO Metropole collection highlights the versatility of timeless classics, designed to transcend fleeting trends while embracing a timeless, sophisticated look. Whether it be dressing up smart, going for a more casual gathering out or somewhere in between, ECCO Metropole effortlessly elevates and completes anything from a hoodie throw-on to a black suit.

At the heart of this new collection is the ECCO Metropole London, a classic welt style round-toe shoe that has the look and feel of your favourite sneaker. On the outside, the shoe is crafted in premium smooth or nubuck ECCO leathers, while the inner has a soft textile lining and leather collar that enhances the cushioning for a comfortable in-step experience.

If you have wider feet, this shoe’s removable Dual-Fit insoles can be cleared for a more spacious toe area; the innovative ECCO Phorene™ midsoles also make sure to deliver long-lasting cushioning and melds to any foot shape for a custom snug fit.

As for support, ECCO’s signature and innovative Fluidform™ Direct Comfort Technology’s anatomical design provides exceptional stability — nothing about all that dress shoe blistering and weathered soles to discount the premium look of the silhouette. It’s the epitome of modernity and comfort, a quiet luxury symbol fit for the fashion forward and those who aspire to be.
