Summer 2025 - SHORTLISTED

Will Huang

"The Coach Soho Sneaker is a bold yet understated nod to late ’80s and early ’90s sneaker culture—revived through a modern, minimalist lens and inspired by the courageous free spirit of New York City. First introduced on the Spring/Summer 2025 runway, it features a crisp silhouette, sculpted “C” logo, and subtle detailing that honor Coach’s heritage of craftsmanship. Designed to keep pace with life on the go, the Soho is crafted of smooth leather with a midsole made from at least 28% bio-based content—created using renewable resources in place of fossil-based materials. Its comfortable design and versatile profile make it a true canvas for self-expression, evolving with you through every scuff, charm, and customization. Finished with a grooved rubber outsole etched with a mini Manhattan map—an homage to our hometown and a hidden guide back to Coach HQ in Hudson Yards—the Soho blends style, sustainability, and storytelling in every step."
