FERRAGAMO X JOHN GILBERT GOLF SHOE 1928 REMADE

- By Gaia Passi

In 1928 Salvatore Ferragamo created the ‘Golf ’ model for his fr iend John Gilbert, a two-sided derby in blue suede and brown calfskin with regular perforatio­ns along the edges. Exactly 90 years later, Ferragamo reworked this iconic shoe in conjunctio­n with Pitti Immagine Uomo 2018. The new ‘Golf ’ is par t of the ‘Ferragamo’s Creations’ line, which br ings back some of the shoes that ha ve made the brand’s history, drawing on the extraordin­ary archive of fifteen thousand models preserved in the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum in Florence. Now as then, the craftsmans­hip is what distinguis­hes the shoes of the Florentine brand, which are handcrafte­d by expert shoemakers following 260 steps.
