Cole Haan sneakers are getting a colorful boost this Pride month.
The premium footwear company has launched three new sneaker styles to celebrate Pride 2023. The offering will include the GrandPrø Topspin Sneaker, the GrandPrø Rally Canvas Slip-On Sneaker and the ZerøGrand Outspace Running Shoe. Each style will be available for both men and women.

A padded tongue, midfoot internal arch band for added support, collar disperse lace pressure and zonal articulated rubber outsole complete this style.
Cole Haan allowed staff to be the storytellers of its new Pride collection. David Maddocks, brand president of Cole Haan, stated that the label asked employees to convey what Pride symbolizes to them.
“Volunteers throughout the company received the limited-edition product and their responses will be featured on our social media and email channels, providing an all-inclusive perspective on the collection,” Maddocks said.
The Cole Haan Pride collection ranges in price from $150-$180 and is currently available to purchase at colehaan.com.
In honor of LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, several labels and retailers have amped up their messaging of inclusivity, charity and a sense of purpose. Cole Haan is the latest brand to launch an inclusive and LGBTQIA+-themed collection for Pride Month, joining a range of brands like Adidas, Sperry, Vans and Teva that have released limited-edition capsules and products for the occasion.
