Tradition takes a trip to Los Angeles, as Italian craft masters Pantofola D’Oro link up with Venice Beach Football Club for a special collaborative collection, which sees football boots joined by sneakers and apparel.

Few brands in the world stick so fervently to their beliefs, but Pantofola D’Oro is definitely one. The Italians are purists when it comes to quality leather and craftsmanship, and they haven’t wavered in their commitment to producing the highest quality footwear since they were founded. To know Pantofola is to know football history. Now they link up with a club that has similar morals, bringing a unique style to the collaboration: Venice Beach FC.

This drop arrives as the first from the pair, with the promise of more to come, and it sees the luxurious Lazzarini presented in a “Sand” colourway, with VBFC details glimmering in gold across the upper. The brand's three gold stars then feature on the black soleplate. The Lazzarini as about classic as you can get, offering a lightweight and flexible feel with a timeless design made from wonderfully soft K-leather.  

The Lazzarini is joined by two Pantofola d'Oro x VBFC Archive sneakers, one in black and one in sand, hoodies, vintage crewnecks and a range of tees.
