Prodotta nel 1962 dal calzaturificio Titano di Cerro Maggiore, Milano, é stata premiata con l'Oscar Internazionale della Calzatura dall'Accademia di Torino.

Realizzata a mano, è puro virtuosismo artigianale: la suola sale verso la tomaia, nel tacco e sui fianchi, creando decori.


Manufactured in 1962 by the shoe factory Titano, Cerro Maggiore, Milan, the shoe was awarded with the International Footwear Oscar by the Turin Academy.

Hand-made, the shoe is a workmanship of the finest order. The upturned sole rises to the sides and to the heel also making decorative motifs on the upper.
