Acquasparta Firenze

Named after Matteo d’Acquasparta, who brought peace to the warring factions of medieval Tuscany, the Brand was founded in Florence, in 2008, and specializes in the production of high-quality sneakers, entirely designed and made in Italy. In 2022 the Brand was taken over by Elena Mercantini, who’s vision to revitalize it focusses on a product of elegance and comfort, for everyday use in business or leisure, across genders and freeing sneakers from their conventional image as a streetwear item. The feel, construction and materials are typical of higher luxury shoes and reflect the craftsmanship, acquired over generations, by artisans in Italy’s most prominent shoemaking district. The traditional approach to manufacturing, together with the choice of direct online distribution, converge in a mix of contemporary customs and Italian technical prowess: technology and tradition at their utmost.
