The innovations emerging from the most recent international events dedicated to footwear technology – the UITIC Congress in Shanghai and the Italian trade fairs visited by the Scientific Committee of Expo Riva Schuh and Gardabags – clearly show that the industry is experiencing a period of radical transformation.

While over 1.5 tonnes of food are wasted worldwide every year, the Tuscan brand makes trainers from food industry waste.

The brand, founded in Florence in 2005, celebrated 20 years of history and success with an immersive dinner organised during Pitti Uomo 108.

The exclusive event featured a limited edition collaboration with Diego Dolcini.

The historic brand draws inspiration from the simple beauty of the Mediterranean to create extraordinary collections where timeless high quality is combined with sustainability and innovation.

A total of over 11,400 buyers attended,  with more than 15,000 visitors in total, representing a 3% increase in international buyers compared to last June.

Winner of iF DESIGN AWARD 2024 for its exclusive design and selected by ADI DESIGN INDEX for the Compasso d'Oro 2024, it remained on display at the ADI Design Museum in Milan until September 2024.

Between new luxury and internationalisation, the trade fair enriched its programme with the RLC Fashion Summit, featuring 200 leading international stakeholders.

The SS26 collections from the Dutch footwear manufacturer embrace the luxury of simplicity and stylistic refinement.

The new line is designed for those who are constantly on the move between business, travel and personal life.

The brand redefines the concept of the work backpack with a new model that combines clean lines with sturdy materials, creating a stylish and high-performance companion for everyday use.

The cushioned Zebzag sole, which has earned its place as a summer must-have, has evolved and can now be worn all year round with the introduction of two new models.

 This collab has given rise to Optimist and Deck, two shoes that reinterpret the brand's spirit in a contemporary key, offering style, comfort and reliability without compromise.

At its heart is the balance that has always defined the brand: a meeting between artisanal savoir-faire and contemporary vision.
