“The Journal” as a series is a review of the footwear industry’s happenings, self-published by Hartcopy on an annual basis. We tap into our growing network of brands, designers, collaborators, and creatives to showcase a host of notable launches from across the year, each important in its own right. This is the physical manifestation of Hartcopy’s primarily digital presence, making subtle evolutions to the recognisable design language that has long been cultivated online. With each issue, it’s important that we spotlight the work that goes into each pair of shoes, with a series of interviews providing additional insights as to the process of footwear ideation and creation.
