Bared Footwear has opened its latest store in Melbourne CBD’s Manchester Lane.
Bared Footwear has taken over the site of the Manchester Lane Jazz Club, completely overhauling the space which features high ceilings, and industrial New York inspired glass windows.
The interior design includes timber panelling, as well as leather and velvet which has been juxtaposed again greenery to reflect the brand's contemporary style.
The city store opening also marks the launch of AFL player Josh Gibson’s first ever brand collaboration, including a Chelsea boot and casual white sneakers.
Gibson said he initially came across the local Melbourne retailer through a recommendation from his podiatrist and immediately developed a relationship with the brand.
“I think its really important to align with brands that reflect and suit my personality and lifestyle. I felt a connection with the brand so for me, Bared was a natural fit."
