The iconic Shanghai, which was launched in 1929, is a style that redefined men’s footwear and continues to do so today. After an original copy of this historic shoe was found in our Northampton factory, we decided to re-issue it with an intentionally vintage look. The unique combination of brogue and monk strap represents Church’s innovative spirit and balance of tradition and modernity. Taking an average of 200 steps to create, the Shanghai is a true example of artisanal mastery - it’s robust Church & Co rubber sole, suede upper and leather insole are all hand treated to achieve the desired vintage effect, lending each pair it’s own individual nuances.
