Hanon x Pantofola d’Oro « Modena »

Having the same passion for handcraft and beautiful materials, the reference Scottish shop HANON and the famous Italian shoe manufacturer PANTOFOLA D’ORO have joined forces to offer us an ultra limited project of high quality. This sneaker is inspired by the heritage of the family business PANTOFOLA D’ORO and more specifically the soccer shoe that made it famous. In order to honor this emblematic silhouette, HANON designed and created the PANTOFOLA D’ORO « Modena ».

For the anecdote, the PANTOFOLA D’ORO shoe factory was created in the 1950s by Emidio Lazzarini, a shoemaker by trade, passionate about the arts and wrestling. Wishing to improve his performance against his opponents, he noticed that the problem was his shoes were too rigid. He came up with the idea of making them out of soft calfskin leather and thus obtained a great ease of mobility which made him more efficient during his fights. A footballer friend of his was seduced by this revolutionary design method and asked him to make custom-made soccer shoes for him. The news spread quickly and it was the entire local soccer team, AS Ascoli, who came to have their feet measured by the newly appointed shoemaker. The PANTOFOLA D’ORO brand was launched. Since then, it has worn the shoes of soccer legends such as Johan Cruyff, Marco Van Basten or Roberto Mancini, to name but a few.

This shoe takes its name from the city where it was born, Modena, and adopts a timeless design from the 70s and 80s. It was built by PANTOFOLA D’ORO in true Italian style with superior craftsmanship and premium materials from Italy. Its aesthetics refer to the famous Pantofola soccer shoe with a distinctive side band and the logo in the shape of a bouncing ball. The shoe consists of a black soft calf leather base with a perforated suede toe box in matching suede and a double leather side band. The narrower white stripe rests on a blue stripe. The white leather tongue and double layered heel (like the side band) are embellished with blue accents, such as co-branding, as well as the Hanon flame and bouncing ball logos, harmonizing the design. The heritage of Italian shoemaking can also be seen on the white leather lining and laminated leather insole with gold leaf co-branding, logos and the « Made In Italy » mention. The name of the MODENA shoe also appears in gold leaf on the lateral side. The whole is based on a totally white sole, finishing off the retro and neat look of this tribute shoe. The sense of detail extends to the custom-made shoebox, featuring the design of the collaboration and including a silk paper packaging with co-branding.

The Hanon x Pantofola d’Oro « Modena » is a limited edition of 12 pairs. It will be available exclusively on hanon-shop.com via a raffle, which is now open for registration and will close on October 2, 2020. The price is 215€, sizes ranging from EU 41 to EU 45. Good luck !
