"We are thrilled to team up with Marcus for the second time. He is not only a force in the culinary industry, but also a fashion icon. The new 125th Street Collection offers professionals a shoe with so much street-style that they can wear it in and out of the kitchen," says Jeff Bua, MOZO Brand President.
"I am obsessed with shoes and was excited at the prospect of bringing street-style into the kitchen. So often you see chefs working in shoes that don't properly help them perform. The 125th Street takes the cool factor of a street shoe and merges it with the intelligence of MOZO, leading to traction, support and long-lasting comfort that truly support the cook," said Samuelsson.
The 125th Street Collection is named for the iconic street that Samuelsson's award-winning restaurant, Red Rooster Harlem, calls home. The collection includes three different mid-cut designs available in waxed canvas, black patent leather, and a scuff resistant black synthetic upper. Each of the shoes gives an insider's nod to the professional kitchen with a molded, diamond plate toe-cap inspired by industrial steel grating. Additionally, one of the Chef's shoes in the 125th Street Collection features a waxed canvas design that showcases the famous wallpaper that adorns Red Rooster Harlem's walls and is a page from Samuelsson's grandmother's handwritten recipe book.
