[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At the beginning of the celebration of its thirty years of existence, the famous Scottish shop Hanon has teamed up with the Japanese from Mizuno to offer us a very nice collaboration paying tribute to one of the greatest Scottish specialities : Whisky.
Hanon is originally from Speyside. A region famous for its whisky, its number of distilleries, its cooperages and its Pagoda roofs. In order to celebrate this Scottish/Japanese association, the Hanon team has relied on the poetic nature of whisky by paying tribute to “The Angel’s Share”.
“The Angel’s Share” is described as the percentage of alcohol that evaporates from a cask into the air as the whisky ages. For Scotland in particular, the amount the “Angel” takes is about 2% per year, due to the colder nature of the climate. The share can also be determined by cask size, weather and environmental conditions.
The pair consists of an upper in corduroy and pig suede. The toe box is made of perforated suede. Hanon branding details can be found on the tongue, heel, insole and the tip of the laces. The leather insole features Gaelic words “Uisge beatha”, which are used to describe whisky and translate as “Eau-de-vie” or “Brandy”.
Presented in the classic Mizuno box, the Sky Medal x Hanon will be provided with three pairs of laces and will be available at HANON via an online raffle starting February 17th.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
