Baracuta - Made in England
Dating back to 1937 Baracuta's humble beginnings started in a small factory based in the Chorlton area of Manchester, the location of the very first G9 Harington Jacket created by brothers and company founders John & Isaac Miller. Ever since, the G9 silhouette has become one of the most iconic items in menswear, globally recognised as a genuine example of the hard work ethic, combined with innovation which sparked the industrial revolution in Manchester. Firmly establishing itself as the original Harington Jacket Baracuta takes pride in never compromising in construction which stems from all items still being made in the very same Manchester based factory. Shop the G9 Harington Jacket in a variety of colours along with the Original Trench from Baracuta's Spring/Summer '14 collection in store and online here.

A Revolution In Air
The very first piece of footwear to feature a visible Air Unit and a precursor for future iconic designs, the Air Max 1 designed by Nike CEO and founder Tinker Hatfield marked a revolution in running footwear when the shoe was released on March 26th 1987. Twenty seven years later the shoe is still as significant as it was in 1987, available in store now and online here.
Highly regarded as "The Air Max" for it's forward thinking and innovative upper design, the Air Max 95 was the first of it's kind to stray from the more familiar silhouettes of its predecessors creating a whole new take on construction and silhouette. Featuring a visible full foot Air Unit, canvas tongue loops and small swoosh the Air Max 95 is available in store now and online here.
Released just this year the Air Max 2014 is the lightest from the Air Max range, infusing engineered mesh uppers with a full length articulated tubular Air Unit for ultimate comfort and flexibility. The shoe also features a waffle pattern outsole for maximum durability and traction, Nike+ technology and a 3M reflective swoosh, available in store now and online here.
Originally known as the Air Max III the name later changed to that we know so well today, the Air Max 90. It was the first Air Max to introduce the multi port lacing system which was one of seven molded parts on the upper partition of the shoe, along with a separated midsole into front and back compartments, which allowed for an increase in stability. Considered as one of the most timeless styles to leave the Beaverton HQ you can find the Air Max 90 in store and online here.
