Formula One team to wear shoes from Chatham
25/02/2013
Best known as a boat shoe manufacturer, Chatham became involved with the Indian Formula One team last year when it began to supply travel shoes to team members.
Under the new arrangement, it will supply shoes for the team’s technical staff to wear trackside and for all its factory staff. A new range of Chatham branded clothing will also be issued to all travelling staff.
The expanded partnership sees the launch of the first Sahara Force India branded shoe, specially designed for the team. The shoe contains a touch of Indian styling, with creative input from Dr Vijay Mallya, Sahara Force India’s managing director.
Philip Marsh, the footwear brand’s managing director, said on making the announcement: “As the Formula One team gears up for the 2013 season, it’s the perfect showcase for Chatham, reinforcing our strong tradition of style and quality.”
