Tod’s finds the perfect balance between past and present in the sporty T Vintage — a nod to sneakers of the 80s and 90s.
It’s hard to compete with Tod’s expertise in craftsmanship, given that it has over a century’s worth of legacy to tap onto. It can be hard to re-contextualise history when fashion is constantly experiencing a still quickening pace of change, but that was never a problem for the house — the wealth of know-how and attention to detail is what continues to propel the brand forward, each novelty as timeless as the last.
Its latest offering to exemplify this is the T Vintage from its Fall Winter 2024 collection; a sporty sneaker that embodies it’s name to a tee. On top of a retro colour palette and classic top-stitch detailings, the T Vintage has a wedge sole that provides both exceptional comfort and support, as well as that old-school appeal that recalls American sportswear silhouettes, and the smart casual ensembles of classic Italian sensibilities. Lined with the house’s signature Gommino pebble rubber sole for maximum grip and durability and equipped with a removable insole that adds versatility and ease of cleaning, the T Vintage is made to last long with easy and minimal maintenance — the perfect complement to contemporary lifestyles that involve a healthy mix of movement both indoors and outdoors.
From full monotone bodies of soft calfskin leather or calfskin suede in neutral colours, to vibrantly-coloured renditions that combine both the former materials with technical fabric inserts, Tod’s T Vintage is a sleek and stylish option that underlines Matteo Tamburini’s fresh cut into the heritage of Tod’s. The hand-assembled shoe is finally hot-stamped with the Tod’s logo on its side — a mark of the quality and craftsmanship that comes with every Tod’s creation, and a reminder of the brand’s intelligent and timeless artistry.
