The exclusive collaboration celebrates craftsmanship and innovation: values that define both companies, each a leader in its own field. Vision and passion, coupled with a persistent commitment to research and quality are key characteristics that unite Tod’s and Automobili Lamborghini and, in this collaboration, draw new boundaries in Italian style.

The collaboration between Tod’s and Automobili Lamborghini epitomizes the pinnacle of Italian design and craftsmanship, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. This partnership not only celebrates the rich heritage of Italian manufacturing but also serves as a testament to the country’s unparalleled expertise, now shared with the world.

At the heart of this collaboration lies a footwear collection, meticulously crafted to embody the essence of Italian luxury. Featuring two iconic models – the timeless Tod’s Gommino and a sleek sneaker – this collection introduces a fresh interpretation infused with the spirit of Lamborghini’s super sports cars.

The Gommino receives a bold makeover, drawing inspiration from the dynamic aesthetics of Lamborghini‘s livery. The addition of a tubular band elevates its design, evoking a sense of aerodynamic sophistication. With larger rubber pebbles on the soles, matching the color scheme of the heel or upper, each pair exudes a harmonious blend of style and performance.

Crafted from premium leathers sourced from Italy’s finest tanneries, every aspect of production is imbued with artisanal precision. From the meticulous hand-cutting of leather to the intricate visible stitching, each pair is a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship synonymous with Italian shoemaking.

The launch event at the historic Stazione Leopolda in Florence, coinciding with Pitti Uomo, underscores the collection’s significance in the realm of men’s fashion. Against the backdrop of this iconic venue, the Tod’s for Automobili Lamborghini collection takes center stage, alongside the Lamborghini Revuelto, captivating enthusiasts with its fusion of style and performance.

This inaugural collection marks the beginning of an exciting journey, with future projects set to expand into leather goods and ready-to-wear collections. As Tod’s and Automobili Lamborghini continue to push boundaries and redefine luxury, their collaboration promises to elevate Italian craftsmanship to new heights, captivating audiences worldwide.
