Grenson x Tenue de Nîmes

In November last year Tenue de Nîmes visited the Grenson factory in Rushden, Northamptonshire to salute our first Grenson x Tenue de Nîmes shoe. We developed a black Tenue de Nîmes interpretation of the Grenson classic: the Fred. The shoe is a limited edition high top brogue with a triple layer -blue tone- leather sole. Tenue de Nîmes was amazed by all the stages of English craftsmanship to finally come together in this characteristic shoe. That is why we decided to do a video about the factory and the nearly 200 pit stops that our shoe had to make before it got delivered in Amsterdam. The factory images and report will be published in Journal de Nîmes Nº5, in July 2010.
