What was that very stylish thing walking through a hip music video recently? Yes, WHAT? Not who, but WHAT? A pair of Zeha shoes. Namely our Derby 808.024!
Completely unexpected, because none of the Zeha team initially knew how the shoes ended up on the feet of the famous wearer. No matter because they look sensational there.
Jack Antonoff rocks the big stage with ZEHA Derbys
The WHO is just as great in this case. Because none other than Jack Antonoff bounced rhythmically through the new Bleachers video “Modern Girl”. Jack WHO?
Jack Antonoff, born in Bergenfield, New Jersey, USA in 1984, is one of the most versatile and talented music producers, singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists of our time. He first rose to fame as a co-founder of the band “fun” in 2008, whose second studio album “Some Nights”, which was a huge commercial success with hits such as “We Are Young” and “Carry On”, won several Grammy Awards, including “Song of the Year” for “We Are Young”. After the band took a break, Antonoff began to concentrate more on his solo career.
He has been the frontman and main songwriter for his solo project “Bleachers” since 2014, and the debut album “Strange Desire” was praised by critics. Hits such as “I wanna get better” and “Rollercoaster” are catchy tunes in a class of their own.
Jack Antonoff has long been a celebrated music producer
But the remarkable thing about the first Bleachers album is that it exists at all. Because Antonoff hardly ever gets round to making music himself. In addition to his own music career he has long been a sought-after music producer. His long-term musical collaborators include Lana del Ray and Lorde.
Cool sole with Taylor Swift
He has more than just a long musical friendship with Taylor Swift, whose last albums he co-produced. When “Midnights” was released in October 2022, she gave an insight into the Swift-Antonoff cosmos in an Instagram post: “He’s a friend for life and we’ve been making music together for ten years.”
Antonoff revealed to the New Yorker. “Taylor was the first one to support me and say, I like the sound of this, it’s going on my next album. And suddenly I was a producer.” The producer with the most beautiful shoes, we think. The model worn by the Bleachers frontman in the new video, the Derby 808.024, can of course be purchased in the ZEHA online shop (https://www.zeha-berlin.de/en/men/carl-haessner/zeha-petrol-cream-cognac.html) – we also ship the cult shoes internationally.
