Special Shoes from a special place and time:

Since 2006, one of the most unique designer shoe concepts in the world and the only shoes specifically designed to wear with GBS clothes...

EXTREME limited edition handmade shoe designs created in Italy with Giuseppe Rebesco at San Zenone di Ezzelini & the legendary GBS Cavarzere Venezia workrooms—a very special footwear creation program that focuses on beautiful design, superb long-lasting wearing comfort, and maximum environmentally-sustainable and ethically created non-perishable luxury and value… it’s the only collection specifically designed for GBS clothes, and comes from many years of extensive research into extreme handcraft technologies, authentic historical shoe design reproduction and the most advanced modern sport shoe and enviromentally-sustainable approaches in footwear.
