Acquasparta, the rebirth of luxury sneakers made in Italy
Elena Mercantini

Acquasparta is the result of careful research by Elena Mercantini, the brand’s soul and CEO. Her economic and financial background and love for the fashion world led her to acquire the historic D’Acquasparta brand, one of the first companies to have made trainers in Italy and from which the new Acquasparta was born, revised in a modern key by a team of designers who have created models with a lighter and trendier taste, while still respecting the roots, philosophy and values of the past linked to the brand’s historicity. Made by a cutting-edge company in the heart of the Marche region, Acquasparta footwear proposes a new style that exalts the most authentic Italian craftsmanship tradition in support of the territory, promoting Made in Italy in total respect for the environment.

The first new line of trainers, symbolically called La Fenice (The Phoenix), proposes a collection of super-exclusive sneakers, almost unique pieces, witnesses of a new contemporary glamour and whispered luxury, without excesses, designed for those who love to stand out with elegance and refinement. Just one model, in many declinations of colours, combinations and materials. The most representative shoe in the collection is the Fenice 621 The Icon: made of white calfskin with contrasts in suede in Acquasparta burgundy and natural cowhide, and rich in precious details, all again in Acquasparta burgundy.
