Church’s Roadrunner Collection: Where Heritage Meets Modern Agility
London, January 7, 2026 — The venerable British shoemaker Church’s, renowned for timeless craftsmanship since 1873 and cherished by global connoisseurs of luxury footwear, has announced its latest innovation: the Roadrunner collection. This curated line of ultra‑light formal shoes elevates classic English silhouettes with a contemporary spirit and agile performance that mirrors the rhythms of modern life.
This launch marks a compelling evolution for the brand, which has historically balanced tradition with innovation — from its Autumn/Winter 2025 lineup that revisited classic forms with refined sophistication to the City Light collection embracing feather‑light wearability. (Luxferity coverage)

Modern Mobility Meets British Craftsmanship
Named Roadrunner for its unparalleled lightness and dynamic persona, this collection reinterprets iconic Church’s shapes with a fresh, agile sole compound — high in air content yet robust in performance. Designed for the discerning traveller and the executive on the move, these shoes offer a cushioning feel more akin to a premium sneaker than a traditional formal shoe.
The sole itself incorporates tread elements inspired by Church’s celebrated Shannon rolling pattern, giving a subtle nod to the maison’s deep heritage while pushing technical boundaries. Built for unmatched comfort without compromising aesthetic, this innovation aligns with the brand’s ongoing commitment to luxury innovation and functionality.

The Four Pillars of the Roadrunner Line‑Up
The Roadrunner family comprises four distinct silhouettes — each tailored to diverse sartorial needs and cosmopolitan lifestyles:
- Rock Ferry: A sleek penny loafer with elastic for effortless slip‑on comfort, drawing inspiration from Church’s classic Pembrey.
- Redruth: A plain derby with an ultra‑light twist, honoring the heritage of the iconic Shannon.
- Ringmer: A brogue derby with elaborate detailing, born from the Grafton’s refined lineage.
- Rotheram: A contemporary lace‑up ankle boot that reimagines the Amberley Chelsea boot for adventurous city wear.
This lineup reflects a design language rooted in crafted minimalism — a nod to Church’s enduring philosophy where form and function unite. Whether navigating London’s historic streets, Parisian galleries, or Milan’s aperitivo bars, these shoes embody ease, versatility, and elevated comfort.

Artisanal Excellence as the Foundation of Luxury
Like the Crown Collection — Church’s pinnacle of artisanal excellence introduced late last year — the Roadrunner series upholds meticulous craftsmanship. (Luxferity coverage) Each pair is cut from the finest leathers and assembled using techniques refined over a century, preserving the house’s signature standards of quality and longevity. This dedication ensures that each shoe not only looks exquisite but endures through years of wear — a key indicator of true luxury.
Available from January 2026 in select boutiques worldwide and online at church‑footwear.com, the Roadrunner collection stands as a testament to Church’s vision: merging heritage values with the demands of an ever‑evolving luxury lifestyle.
