An Introduction To H By Hudson

The sure fire way to beat any failing trend is to stick to the classic rules of style: strong, iconic design with deeply rooted heritage will always trump any fad going. Innovative shoe brand H by Hudson are advocates of this theory, creating timeless styles that have slowly grown to become the footwear of choice by shoe connoisseurs from their home town of London, to shoe lovers who are pounding pavements all over the world.

First started in 1990 under the name Hudson, the brand has always been about providing wearers with a high quality yet affordable pair of shoes-whether they buck the trends of the modern day, or follow the fashion pack. Hudson always aimed to acknowledge any trend of the time, and pay homage to it, whilst adding its very own twist to make sure that they stand apart from the overcrowded shoe market. Drawing its inspiration from the cultures that envelope London city, from music, to art, film and even style icons, Hudson finds everything it needs to develop it’s iconic and sought after styles in the places that surround it. Although it has often been imitated, Hudson is never rivaled, as it constantly strives for innovation and aims to surprise its army of loyal fans with new designs that are typically Hudson.

However, a changing scene in the world of designer footwear forced Hudson to create a new label that would be cheaper than the now well established Hudson brand, but maintain the high standards that people had come to expect from the London brand. The result came in 2004, when Hudson launched H by Hudson. A diffusion line aimed to keep up with a fast paced fashion scene; H by Hudson kept the philosophy of Hudson by taking trends and tweaking them to make them even better, whilst still offering some well heeled formal designs. Where Hudson leaves its classic iconic styles, H by Hudson takes after it, keeping its finger firmly on the dynamic pulse of footwear trends the world over.
