Ermenegildo Zegna TizianoLuxury Italian brand Ermenegildo Zegna has introduced its new Tiziano rainbow sneaker featuring five pop-art color combinations ranging from blue and orange, to yellow, bordeaux and steel grey.

First seen on the runway during the brand’s couture fall/winter 2017 show, Tiziano sneakers now offer men a colorful version of the brand’s iconic high-top sneaker for the contemporary masculine wardrobe.

Constructed with soft calfskin leather, the Tiziano sneaker is characterized by its clean, minimalist style with a modern twist. From lateral cuts and stitching to the hand-painted edges, extra-light rubber soles with a unique leather insert, and the signature, hand-stitched XXX on the heel-tab, the high-top sneakers symbolize the brand’s Crafting Modernity approach, which represents a merging of the intensely artisanal and the resolutely contemporary. The new special edition couture sneaker is now crafted using gradient color on the trademark lateral cuts, which is offset by the stark white tongue, toe cap and laces.

Ermenegildo Zegna TizianoIn designing the Tiziano sneaker, artistic director Alessandro Sartori was inspired by the link between the artisan world of Zegna and fine tailoring, as seen by the extensive attention to couture detailing and use of the iconic Ermenegildo Zegna herringbone pattern.

The collection of Tiziano rainbow sneakers are now available in the Zegna Milano Montenapoleone Boutique and at select Zegna boutiques worldwide starting November 30.
