Jacket Required has a distinct reputation for presenting the most progressive menswear at its biannual shows in London. And the trade event is now looking to further strengthen its credentials with an edited collection of heritage and emerging footwear brands at its upcoming edition.

“Footwear at Jacket Required is an integral element of the menswear buying offer so our team are working hard to refine yet grow the premium and streetwear collections on show at Jacket Required. AW20 aims to inspire, celebrate tradition and champion newness,” said Adam Gough, event director of Jacket Required.

Celebrating 150 years, Tasmanian brand Blundstone will showcase its heritage boots at the event alongside first time exhibitors such as performance footwear brand On Running. Munich Footwear is a streetwear brand with roots dating back to the Spanish Civil War; and Sert London provides high-end, handcrafted footwear.

Visitors will also discover the AW20 collections from Cheaney Shoes, Oliver Sweeney, Superga, Sebego, Atlanta Mocassin, Duca Del Cosma, Palladium, Toms, Yogi Footwear, R.M. Williams, Lotto, and Straye Footwear.

The next edition of Jacket Required is opening on 22-23 January at the Old Truman Brewery in East London.
