a.testoni
Expressing playful mixtures that fuse form and material.
The theme for the 2014-15 Autumn/Winter collection is "Hybrid."
Crafted with Italy's traditional artisanal techniques and the finest selected materials, a.testoni shoes are made with wearability as the top priority. While the collection now includes small leather goods, bags, leather accessories, and women's shoes, the footwear remains a signature item of a.testoni, highly regarded for its popularity.

The latest collection expresses "Hybrid" through materials and design.
Left /Wingtip XL Rubber Sole "M12381UDG"
An XL rubber sole shoe based on the popular style "M11559." It features signature a.testoni details throughout, such as the fillettone (a.testoni's unique piping technique by skilled artisans), spiral (a technique where a long, thin strip of leather is wound stitch by stitch around waxed thread, applied to the sole's edge), and antique finishing. Choosing the water-repellent "Gum Calf" material allows for wear regardless of the weather.
Price | ¥142,560
Bottom left /Hybrid Monk Strap "M40274VEG"
This item embodies the collection's theme with a design that appears to seamlessly join different materials like gum calf and suede. The "Gum Calf" this season is a material with water repellency due to rubber coating. The suede provides an accent to the matte, cool appearance.
Price | ¥178,200
Top right /Hybrid Monk Strap "M40273VEG"
An aggressive design combining patent leather and suede, featuring both bi-material construction and a blend of full brogue and plain toe styles. It is equipped with an XL tank rubber sole using the Norwegian construction method (a technique developed for mountain boots to withstand adverse weather, accentuating the upper with linen thread). The result is a light and active finish.
Price | ¥189,000
