Maranello’s collaboration with Berluti has produced the Ferrari Limited Edition footwear collection designed specifically for gentlemen drivers and inspired by the Prancing Horse’s latest models, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and Monza SP2. Every detail and styling element of this exclusive collection – including each shoe’s sculptural, sinuous shapes and stitching – references the iconic Ferraris, their instantly recognisable exterior styling and exquisite interiors.
The Monza SP1 and Monza SP2 limited-edition special-series cars are the first in a new segment called ‘Icone’, which draws inspiration from the most evocative Ferraris of the 1950s and features the most advanced sports car technology available today. Aimed at dedicated clients and collectors, the Monza SP1 and Monza SP2 reference the iconic Ferrari racing barchettas of the past, not least the 1948 166 MM, which originally inspired the name “barchetta”, and the 750 Monza and 860 Monza.
The Monza SP1 and SP2 feature a unique design, the best weight-to-power ratio of any barchetta thanks to the extensive use of carbon-fibre in construction, and distinctive details such as head- and tail-lights, wheels and interior which further enhance the cars’ exclusivity.
To further underscore the link to the Prancing Horse, all three shoe models in the collection – a Slip-on, an Oxford and a Chelsea Boot – have the same red piping detail on their heels.
When it came to designing and developing the soles used in the collection, Ferrari drew on its wealth of experience with innovative technologies, choosing to craft them in Twill 2×2 carbon fibre which is not only used in its cars, but also makes for ultra-comfortable driving in particular.
The Ferrari Limited Edition collection was unveiled by Ferrari Chairman John Elkann and Berluti CEO Antoine Arnault at a cocktail party in the brand’s boutique on Paris’s Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré to celebrate both Fashion Week and the Mondial Paris Motor Show. Designed by Berluti and Ferrari, the collection will be available from the start of November in select Berluti boutiques internationally.
