Italian fashion house Tod’s has joined forces with iconic car manufacturer Automobili Lamborghini to create an exclusive footwear collection that celebrates craftsmanship and innovation, two values that are at the core of both brands.
The collaboration, which is set to become a long-term partnership starts with a men’s and women’s footwear collection featuring two shoe designs: the Tod’s Gommino and the sneaker, available in yellow, green, and blue.
The designs, which were unveiled at the recent Pitti Uomo in Florence, are presented in yellow, green and blue variations.
The Gommino is characterised by a new design inspired by the livery of Lamborghini’s super sports cars, and the tubular band work enhances the aerodynamic appeal, creating movement and elegance.
On the soles, the distinctive rubber pebbles are larger, matching the colour of the heel or the upper part. The leathers are sourced from the finest tanneries, and the production process requires a high level of craftsmanship, where leather cutting and visible stitching are done by hand.
The pieces combine both brand’s desire to achieve the highest expression of Italian design and manufacturing tradition, along with attention to detail. These founding values of both brands allow the partnership to blend two Italian powerhouses seamlessly.
This is the first collection in a series of projects which will evolve to include leather goods and ready-to-wear collections.
