About this project

What if I told you you didn't have to be Kanye West to own a kick-ass pair of luxury, urban sneakerboots? What if I told you you could have top-grade Italian leather hugging your feet day in, day out, without breaking the bank? What if I told you that impeccable street swagger and stunning runway style was finally within your reach?

Presenting the hallmark new model from Luigi Sardo: The Domenico Sneakerboot. 

The Domenico is a sneakerboot the likes of which the market has never seen before. Quality meets affordability. Elegance meets edge. Craftsmanship meets charisma. Runway class and street-style swagger. With The Domenico Sneakerboot you don't have to be all urban. But you don't have to be all gentleman either. Be both.

Of course, I could also tell you that The Domenico Sneakerboot's Vibram Christy Moreflex outsoles will have you feeling like you're walking on cotton candy and the fine Italian leather will develop character of its own over time, taking on a lush patina finish. I could tell you that our exclusively designed cushioned foam inserts will mould to your feet before your first... dreaded... scuff. 

I could talk about The Domenico Sneakerboot's custom brass hardware, midsole blake stitching, full grain cowhide uppers and pigskin leather linings. But I won't. I don't need to. Just look at the shoe...

If you're a shoe aficionado, or someone who likes the facts, here's the nitty-gritty technical breakdown.

After designing, manufacturing and selling two successful shoe collections over the past two years, I now need your help to step things up. I'm moving production from China to Europe so I can work with a highly successful team of artisans in Portugal, who have more than 70 years experience in the business. I want to keep getting better, keep pushing the limits, keep reinventing—and I want you, the customer, to reap the benefits. I can't think of a more stylish, more affordable, higher quality product to offer you than The Domenico Sneakerboot.

Oh yeah, you know the "middle man" that always gets in the way and drives the price up? Well, the middle-man is out of the picture here, and that cuts carbon emissions big time.

In case you're wondering where the name "Luigi Sardo" comes from, it's actually a tribute to a very wise 94 year old man named Luigi.

Shoes make a man's outfit. You may not be able to buy taste, but now you can certainly buy style The Domenico Sneakerboot from Luigi Sardo. Long live the urban gentleman.

  

Dedicated to the late-great Domenico Lacaria.
