Scottish shoe brand Crosby debuted in Russia

The debut took place at the presentation of European brands EURO SHOES PREMIERE COLLECTION. In Russia, the Crosby brand is represented by Analpa.inc Corporation.

The surname "Crosby" in translation from Old Norse means "to walk quickly". Crosby, in the XNUMXth century. who opened one of the first shoe factories in Scotland, really walked fast, so over time they became specialists in the production of shoes for sports. Thanks to the comfort, quality and originality of the models, the shoes sold well throughout Scotland.

However, at the beginning of the XXI century, the great-grandchildren of the factory owners decided to abandon the shoe business. Learning about this, the creator of the Manchester design studio Jason Mark Harris invited the American managing corporation Analpa.inc to take control. The corporation retained its name, specialists and technology and expanded its production to get good prices by placing it in Korea, Vietnam, China and Indonesia in factories rented by Analpa.inc.

The new owners decided to further strengthen the sports component in the design of models. The modeling of Crosby shoes was transferred to the studio of Jason Mark Harris, who always dreamed of designing just such shoes, since in the past he himself was a footballer (and he was told the position of striker in Manchester City). Designers sought to make shoes for people who appreciate not only every minute, but also every second of their lives. Shoes turned out functional, wear-resistant and practical.

The European bests were selected for the first Russian presentation. The collection features lines Outdoor, Casual, Active.
