To celebrate its 55th anniversary, Mercedes–AMG has partnered with Italian shoe and leather maker Santoni for a Capsule Collection that includes boots, sneakers, and raceboxer for men and women.
The Santoni for AMG is produced in a limited run of just 55 pieces each and all anniversary models bear the “55 years” logo to mark the 55th anniversary of Mercedes-AMG. The footwear is presented in AMG colors, namely black, gray, white, and red, and features the AMG logo.
For the uninitiated, Mercedes-AMG and Santoni partnership isn’t new. It has been going for years and it started with FIA-approved racing shoes and stylish casual shoes. That said, one of the models is actually a nod to this long-standing partnership.
The model in question is the unisex model “Raceboxer” featuring high upper and lacing, exclusively designed for the 55th anniversary of Mercedes-AMG. “Raceboxer”, as the name implies, is a marriage between sports shoes for boxers and racers.
It is a reinterpretation of Santoni’s very first ‘Santoni for AMG’ model created in 2007. While the “Raceboxer” interprets lifestyle and luxury in a very sporty and expressive way (read: fashionable in a sporty way), it is also approved and certified by the FIA for professional racing use. Like, how cool is that? I thought it is super cool.
If you are down, the Santoni for AMG Capsule Collection is available now via Santoni Online Boutique, with a starting price of US$650.
But you may want to act on it fast because, as far as the Santoni US website goes, sizes for both men and women are running out fast.
