sought-after ! 200,000 yen ARTIOLI Artioli 5.5 Adelaide Finest Italian Fashion

ARTIOLI, a prestigious name in Italian retro footwear, was founded in Milan in 1945 by Verino Artioli. Specializing in the McKay construction method, it is a factory that still handles entire processes in its own factory.

The customer list includes the names of VIPs from entire over the world, and the legend that "people who secure custom-made equestrian equipment at Hermès also have bespoke shoes made by ARTIOLI" is widely told.

Customers include former U.S. President George H.W. Bush and former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, as well as numerous fans in the political and financial world, as well as celebrities such as the Pope, Frank Sinatra, Robert De Niro, President Putin, Michael Jackson, and the Kennedy family.

Currently, the history of the Artioli family has been passed down from the founder Severino Artioli to the second generation, Vito Artioli, and the third generation, Andrea Artioli. Since Andrea took over, the design aspect has been particularly strengthened, and it has evolved into a prestigious brand that leads the mode scene in Italy.

This work is a dressy Adelaide-style straight-tip, Andrea's specialty.

Since there are no size markings or other indications, it may be bespoke or a custom-made item. Perhaps because of this, the quality seems to be produced at an even higher level.

The stitching is sewn at such a fine pitch that the seams are difficult to see, and the perforations are also remarkably elaborate.

The material of the upper is also superb, and is of a level comparable to those used by Edward Green and John Lobb. This may be because it is a custom-made item.

ARTIOLI's exceptional low toe, with almost no toe spring, further enhances the dressy look. It seems to further enhance the sharpness when wearing a suit style.

These shoes have a truly lovely silhouette. The sophisticated atmosphere that simply feels cool is the best.
