Cole Haan unveiled “Comfortable Anywhere,” its Fall 2026 global brand campaign starring Christian Slater and Jenny Slate.
Comfortable Anywhere builds on Cole Haan’s longstanding belief that looking good and feeling good should never be a trade-off. Slater’s understated cool and Slate’s expressive wit bring two unique personalities to the campaign.
“We wanted Comfortable Anywhere to feel real. Not perfectly planned or overly polished,” said Krissie Millan, chief marketing officer at Cole Haan. “Christian and Jenny bring a sense of humor to everyday moments that made them perfect for this campaign. They know how to keep things in perspective, which feels very Cole Haan.”
Shot in a day-in-the-life format, the films find Slater preparing for the arrival of dinner guests while Slate faces a looming deadline. He takes a decidedly relaxed approach to hosting—and making homemade pasta for the first time—while Slate searches for inspiration everywhere but her desk. Through it all, Cole Haan provides the comfort to keep moving through whatever the day brings.
Slater and Slate wear the GrandPrø FlexCraft sneaker throughout the campaign, bringing Cole Haan’s FlexCraft technology to a sneaker for the first time. Originally developed for dress footwear, FlexCraft allows lightweight cushioning to take on the refined look of a traditional stacked-leather heel—bringing an element of classic shoemaking craft and polished comfort to a modern sneaker.
Additional fall hero styles include the ØriginalGrand SkyWeave Everarc worn by Slater—Cole Haan’s first performance runner, engineered with SkyWeave technology and FeatherFeel cushioning—and the GrandPrø Runner 2.0 worn by Slate, an ultralightweight sneaker designed for all-day wear.
The featured styles are part of a broader fall wardrobe of sneakers, loafers, boots, handbags and accessories—all designed with the same idea in mind: looking pulled together shouldn’t come at the expense of feeling comfortable.
Comfortable Anywhere brings Cole Haan’s “feel what’s possible” philosophy to life: when you feel at ease with where you are, you’re more open to what comes next. With its centennial approaching in 2028, Cole Haan is building on nearly a century of craft while continuing to look ahead.
