Ikon footwear continues to respond to current fashion trends, incorporating contemporary styles with new leathers and a targeted colour palette. Boots continue to be on trend with an evolving collection of semi formal fashion shoes exemplified by the ubiquitous brogue.

For spring/summer 2012, Ikon are expanding their offering of the classic brogue, with washed leathers providing a vintage feel along with vibrant suede’s, adding a splash of colour into your summer wardrobe.

Key trends include a new A line loafer and boat shoes in new exciting leathers and suede’s.

The original Ikon range provides “echoes of an era” with its retro inspired fashion footwear. From a tassel loafer to a desert boot, or a bowling shoe to a spatz style classic, the original collection incorporates timeless styles with a modern twist.

IKON draws inspiration from the 60’s British music and fashion scene, through to modern day. Let music be food to the soul. Let your soles be fed by wearing Ikon.

The past decade has seen IKON develop its own blend of dapper and smart formal footwear along with a unique mix of casual and summer wear. IKON products are designed, developed and produced with passion, flair and a commitment to style, quality and functionality. IKON produces collections around the structure of traditional seasons but maintains a fluid approach and introduces many new styles throughout the year.

Fashion comes from the street and is for the street - everyone must feel great in what they wear. "MOD for it", "I Know One Name" and "Fanatical about Footwear" are registered trademarks used in marketing the IKON brand.

The 1990's
A decade which gave us The Spice Girls, Friends TV show, and our first Harry Potter novel. Dolly the sheep was cloned and Mad Cow Disease spread through-out our countryside.

The Labour Party re-brands as New Labour and Tony Blair at 43, becomes the youngest Prime minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812.

The Premier league launched; Three Lions rang out on our terraces and in our bars.
Lad’s culture found its voice through magazines such as FHM and Loaded.

Music in Britain became great once again and drew comparisons to the swinging sixties. A rich vein of creative talent came to the fore in the shape of bands such as The Verve, Suede, Blur, Oasis, Pulp, and Ocean Colour Scene, to name just a few. Britpop was born and became a buzz word of the 90’s.

Fashion took its place alongside Football and Music in the heart of 1990’s man. David Beckham and football’s new millionaire celebrities signaled a new era for men; they no longer required encouragement or an invitation to look good. This provided a greater freedom for men to experiment with grooming products, hairstyles, clothes and ultimately what they put on their feet. The details made the man; Footwear was no longer just an afterthought.

IKON’s founder having spent many years designing, developing and supplying footwear collections for major UK retailers such as Clarks, Dolcis, Barratts, NEXT, Marks & Spencer and Kenneth Cole in the US, noticed a gap in the men’s market for stylish and independently branded footwear, he knew the time was right to venture into the world of creating his own label.

Developing that initial idea from scratch into a recognised brand was a huge task, and his partner was recruited in the late summer of 1997 to make IKON a reality. The first IKON collections were launched in the autumn of 1997.

IKON has enjoyed organic growth; and development has been nurtured with care.
The first collections in 1997 were sold through three famous retailers, DOLCIS, TOPMAN and BARRATTS. Over the past decade more retailers such as SCHUH, RAVEL, SOLE TRADER, JONES THE BOOTMAKER, RUSSELL & BROMLEY and BRANTANO along with numerous independents have embraced the IKON brand.

Retail outlets stocking the IKON brand total in excess of 500 throughout the UK and Ireland, in a variety of famous footwear and clothing stores and many individual independent menswear retailers.
