Because Van Bommel was strongly associated with classic shoes, it was difficult to sell more fashion-forward footwear under the established brand name. In 1996, Frans van Bommel introduced a line named after his son Floris. It followed the 1980s “New Generation Classics” and was intended to foreground fashion more than Van Bommel’s primarily classic offering. In 2006, the Van Bommel logo was removed from its communications, and the line was developed as an independent brand. Today, it is positioned alongside Van Bommel, while sharing the same shoe-manufacturing business foundation.
