Pantofola d'Oro consolidate their newly-found position in the lightweight market with the launch of the Lazzarini SL. The Italian brand have arrived on the speed scene by placing their luxurious leather uppers on a more streamlined, much lighter SL soleplate that's equipped to compete.

Pantofola d'Oro made their lightweight debut last month when they released the Superleggera silo, and now they've acknowledged the demand for lightweight leather by offering a stripped back edition of one of their most popular boots – the Lazzarini. The Italians have always been renowned for their highest quality leather boots, but players were still overlooking them due to their heavier soleplate, so the move to SL opens a curtain to a new audience.

The lightweight race is as competitive as they come. The Mercurial, X 17+, and PUMA Future roll up to the start line in the lightest F1 cars possible; all excess weight is shredded in favour of minimal scale points. The Lazzarini SL rocks a racing car with leather seats and bottle of champagne in the glove box, Classic FM on the radio while tearing round the track.

An ultra-thin K-leather upper is majestically soft for that typical Pantofola feel, while a Pebax outsole significantly reduces the weight of the boot to bring the Lazzarini into 2018 as a genuine contender.
