拥有悠久历史的United States经典鞋履品牌,始于1876年。其创始人George Henry Bass十八岁时成为一位皮革工匠的学徒,1876年3月,他购入E.P. Packard & Co.的部分股票,并开始进入制鞋业。之后的几年间他成为该公司的全资持股人,并用自己的名字将公司更名为G.H. Bass & Co.。1918年,G.H. Bass & Co.的莫卡辛鞋成为了United States空军的官方飞行靴。在一战中,G.H. Bass成为United States空军指定的飞行用鞋。1927年,查尔斯∙林德伯格就是穿着这种经过不断研发改进的飞行靴,完成了人类有史以来第一次从纽约到巴黎的横跨大西洋飞行。其后推出的Sportocasins鞋,更成为顶尖高尔夫选手们的最爱。博比∙琼斯就是穿着这款鞋,完成了他在1930年的著名精彩一役。United States海军上将理查德∙波德也曾穿着特制的G.H.

G.H.Bass, the originator of coin loafers, designed and produced the first pair of coin loafers. In 1936, G.H. Bass was inspired by the handmade shoes worn by Norwegian fishermen to create the coin loafer. He added a decorative cut-out upper strap with cutouts to the loafers, and the classic coin loafer Weejun was introduced. It was this shoe that created a legend in the history of American shoemaking, and people loved it for a long time. In the 40s and 50s, a kind of public telephone using coins was popular in the United States, and people found that the cut of the Weejun loafer strap was just enough to put a coin, and it was very convenient to put the coin inside, and in the 60s, Weejun loafers were sought after by students, and they were popular on American campuses, and they were once in short supply.
Although the ribbon is no longer practical, this style of the collegiate style is still popular today. In the decades since the Weejun was introduced, its design has undergone two major changes. Originally, such shoes were mainly intended for everyday wear, with an emphasis on comfort and non-slip. Later, in order to meet the needs of formal occasions, Weejun shoes were designed with sophisticated leather soles. In modern times, on the basis of integrating modern design concepts, more casual meaning has been added, and more technological elements have been incorporated into the design, such as the use of new materials to increase the shock absorption function and elasticity of the sole. Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco and legendary Audrey Hepburn have all worn these loafers. Weejun loafers are well-made, the quality is excellent, it adopts a simple and generous American design, the shoe type is more slender, hand-sewn, and the upper hollow ribbon design has become its biggest feature, the price of the official website of the United States is also quite cute, and the ordinary style can be bought for about 760 yuan, which is a very classic and versatile model.
