I am very pleased to announce the Sebago Nexus Project presented by Ronnie Fieg.
I was a part of a great team who spent 5 days on the beautiful Island of the Dominican Republic. What we were able to accomplish was truly magical. We got our hands dirty with the magnificent Sebago team to produce a limited run of shoes dubbed The Sebago Nexus Project. The Nexus Project is presented by Ronnie Fieg who put together a team of 5 bloggers who he admires to help bring this idea to fruition. I had the pleasure of working with Ronnie Fieg, Joshua Kissi, William Yan, Greg Weinstein, Jake Davis and the incredible DP Jim Larer.
I believe all the shoes came out incredible and I can’t wait to show you guys! I hope you guys like them as much as I do.

About the Sebago Nexus Project:
Ten shoe designs. Five bloggers. One never before seen, done, or even attempted collection. The Nexus Project breaks all the rules and redefines what collaboration means. Wanting to create a collection that not only steps it up but also stands out, Sebago® called on one of the most innovative thinkers in the footwear industry around. Ronnie Fieg. A footwear designer and Sebago enthusiast, Fieg in turn reached out to the fashion-forward blogosphere and recruited some of today’s hottest lifestyle bloggers. Greg Weinstein. William Yan. Joshua Kissi & Travis Gumbs. Marcus Troy. Jake Davis. Each serving up a different energy and perspective that’s given the Nexus Project more bang than the Internet has blogs. Led by Fieg, each blogger designed two shoes that represented their own style ethos. The only mandates? Use the best materials available and honor Sebago’s long-loved heritage of authentic craftsmanship. Given the shoemaker’s 60+ year legacy and tenacious dedication to handcrafted perfection, nothing less was acceptable. Thankfully, after visiting the Sebago factory for a hands-on crash course by master cobblers, it wasn’t hard to live up to the Sebago standard. The results? A collection that not only celebrates Sebago’s New England roots, but also underscores our commitment to bring innovative, nautically-inspired footwear to those who love style and value uncommon quality. All of which helps further the reputation of our time-honored traditions.
Handmade in limited quantities of just forty-eight pairs each, only 480 style seekers will ever enjoy what can very well be the finest collaborative collection we’ve ever produced. Authentic. Inspiring. Groundbreaking. Courtesy of Sebago, Ronnie Fieg, and some fiercely talented tastemakers.
