Solovair

Solovair is the footwear line of NPS Shoes, a Northamptonshire Productive Society workshop that has made boots and shoes in Wollaston, England since 1881. The factory produced Dr. Martens for decades before that contract moved overseas in the early 2000s, after which it built out its own label. Core styles include 8-eye and 11-eye derby boots, monkey boots, chukkas and Gibson shoes, Goodyear-welted onto air-cushioned Solovair soles in smooth, hi-shine and greasy leathers, sold direct and through subculture-leaning menswear retailers.
