Spring is not just the season for renewal; it’s also a great opportunity to free ourselves of excess baggage that weigh us all down from time to time.

The Spring ’13 campaign for comfort-fashion footwear brand, Rockport embodies that sense of freedom quite perfectly.

Their “Lightness” campaign showcases how lightweight and flexible footwear allows consumers to Do More, Be More and Live More. The cornerstone of this campaign is a short documentary video that shows the brand’s commitment to sleek, metropolitan style and lightweight, all-day comfort—in a gravity-defying and captivating way:

Rockport believes in stylish shoes that allow you to move about freely through your day in lightweight comfort, allowing you to lead a more active life. Through constant research and development in the lightweight category, along with the fusion of sports technology and style, Rockport continues to be a true leader in this category.  It is their mission, to consistently drive research to bring some of the most lightweight shoes available to the market.

Set yourself free with Rockport shoes, and feel the difference for yourself!

We've always loved how Rockport manages to somehow bridge that proverbial gap between looking good and being comfortable—and this fall is certainly no exception!

Today, Rockport launches its revolutionary new truWALKzero™ footwear for men and women, featuring super lightweight, flexible technology. truWALKzero is the culmination of years of research and testing, making it one of the lightest shoes that Rockport has ever designed. They’ll make you feel like you’re walking on air!

To illustrate the ultra-lightweight quality of the shoes, Rockport has partnered with renowned performance artist Johan Lorbeer for his first stateside debut at the corner of 6^th Avenue and West 43^rd St. (at the Grace Building Plaza).  Johan and team will illustrate how lightweight the truWALK Zero shoes are through his gravity defying installation where it will seem as if he and his team are suspended mid-air from a cube. 

If you happen to be in New York City, you can stop by and see this amazing living installation today from 8am-10 and 5pm-7pm (EST).

Be sure to check out the Rockport truWALKzero collection coming soon to Zappos.com!
