CAR SHOE

In 1963, Gianni Mostile, a craftsman and passionate racing car enthusiast, patented a shoe, or rather a moccasin, with a sole mounted on small rubber studs suitable for sports driving, thus managing to combine passion and love at the same time. In 2001, the Car Shoe brand was acquired by the Prada Group with the intention of preserving the brand's origins. Car Shoe represents an iconic ""handmade"" footwear. The essence of the shoe is the cornerstone of this brand, which always aims to emphasize the importance of Italian craftsmanship. Footwear suitable for any occasion, both for men and women. The extreme quality of the materials perfectly merges with the passion of the artisans who work on them, in order to produce only footwear of a certain level. The continuous search for production, attention to the changing style, the propensity to create increasingly sophisticated models: these are the key characteristics of a brand that continues to offer a borderless view of the world. Even today, Car Shoe footwear remains synonymous with high-quality Made in Italy products. Its must-haves remain the iconic moccasins, now perfected in every detail. From the selection of precious leathers such as suede and tassels, to the care of the laces, durable and either matching or contrasting with the rubber soles. With each collection, Gianni always seeks to amaze his audience. Recently, sneakers and low and high boots have also been introduced in his line, a collection that has been immediately appreciated by the most important figures in the world of fashion. Leather and suede sneakers, elegant yet sporty, characterized by small details or graceful silver or gold glitter. The selection of Car Shoe footwear is suitable for any occasion and outfit. In fact, these shoes are perfect for leisure time as well as more formal and structured situations. The materials used and the color schemes are easily adaptable to any type of event or situation. The Car Shoe brand was patented in 1963 by its creator, Gianni Mostile. In 2001, the brand was acquired by the Prada Group, which intends to preserve the heart of the company and revive one of the most emblematic brands on the international scene. Therefore, not only the original logo was reintroduced, but also the image, quality, and style of Car Shoe footwear were restored. The original model is the Driving shoe, conceived in the Sixties with its distinctive shape. 2013 remains a symbolic date, as it marked the fiftieth anniversary of the brand. A collaboration with the automotive brand Lamborghini was initiated, launching a new and innovative driving model. In the same year, the company launched a space entirely dedicated to lifestyle, inspired entirely by the passion for driving. The following year, the brand launched the Car Shoe Bulletins model, while in 2017, they began another collaboration with the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, creating a dedicated capsule collection. The company's main focus is its iconic moccasin, born in 1963. It features rubber studs mounted on a deconstructed sole that identify the classic Car Shoe footwear. The accessory thus remains timeless, born exclusively from the passion and dedication of its founder. Car Shoe-branded footwear carries with it a history of passion for racing cars, never compromising on the extreme quality of materials and meticulous attention to detail. The imagery dedicated to travel and engines are the pillars of the company, ready to meet every need of its customers. The brand is identified by two fundamental aspects: racing cars and artisanal footwear. In 1963, Gianni Mostile founded the brand, conceiving the very first deconstructed moccasin. His training as a skilled shoemaker allowed him to immediately create an iconic footwear without precedent. The sole, mounted on rubber studs, was the turning point for this type of shoe. The brand was thus immediately identified with the moccasin. It became a true cult accessory, perfect for various occasions. Many jet-set personalities choose to wear this specific footwear model, including John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the inimitable Gianni Agnelli. Over the years, Car Shoe has continued its research to design and produce cutting-edge footwear that remains up-to-date with the times and technologies. Its identity thus declines towards a range of products as casual reinterpretation. What has remained unchanged over time is the quality of the materials and the choice of craftsmanship. The characteristic soles introduced by the brand are still the essence of Car Shoe today. The highest quality materials perfectly blend with the shape, as well as with meticulous artisanal technique. The combination of these factors continues to inspire all the new collections. They are indeed suitable for leisure, travel, and more formal situations. These shoes are designed to be unique products, with attention to detail. A unique, sporty, and inimitable style that suggests and evokes timeless landscapes and emotions.
