The Reserve collection’s campaign draws inspiration from the world’s most esteemed museums, where rare and exquisite objects are showcased. Top model Sean O’Pry stars in the striking campaign, lensed by Cliff Watts at Pier 59 Studios and styled by Maryam Malakpour.

As noted by Allen Edmonds, this visual narrative is the culmination of a century-long legacy.

At the heart of the Reserve collection lies the brand’s signature Goodyear bench welt, paired with soft leather linings in natural hues that celebrate the beauty of quality raw materials and American craftsmanship.
