Sneakersnstuff x Brooks Regent "American Dream"
SNS pays homage to Vilhelm Moberg’s ‘The Emigrants.’
Back in the 19th century, times were touch in Sweden and, ultimately, over one million people fled the Scandinavian country in favor of the opportunities offered in America — something perfectly captured by Vilhelm Moberg’s 1949 novel The Emigrants and director Jan Troell’s subsequent Academy Award-nominated 1971 film adaptation. As a nod to the iconic story and film, Sweden’s own Sneakersnstuff is set to drop a special “American Dream” release alongside Brooks.
Coming in the form of the Brooks Regent, the “American Dream” release comes in a striped textile as a nod to the clothing of the 1850s while text embroidery pays homage to the characters and wooden ship — the Charlotta — depicted in the story. Finally, both SNS and Brooks branding decorate the tongues as a ship graphic comes embossed on the black nubuck heel of each shoe.
The Sneakersnstuff x Brooks Regent “American Dream” will be available in limited numbers at Sneakersnstuff come this Saturday, November 21.
