Handmade

The INIZIO by Genaio is a dress sneaker in smooth black calf leather, handcrafted with love and care in Montegranaro, the heart of Le Marche, Italy.

The upper is full-grain calf leather, the finest part of the hide, left with its natural surface so it softens and gains character with wear. It is sewn by hand and Strobel constructed. Every border is adorned with finely ribbed black cotton grosgrain that runs around the heel and down to the sole. Inside, you'll find a hand-tanned, natural undyed calf leather lining and a leather insole over an ergonomic rubber footbed. Flat, polished black eyelets and cotton laces keep the look refined. On the tongue sits a hand-stitched silk label in cherry red, with Genaio embroidered in white.

The black sole is the Serena cupsole by Margom®, the renowned Italian sole maker from Le Marche. It is made from a premium vulcanised rubber blend, developed for long-term performance and to stay white without yellowing. It is bonded and then stitched around the full perimeter, and it is shock-absorbing and abrasion-resistant.

About

THE INIZIO

WHY?

Because elegance should not be reserved for special occasions. The INIZIO dress sneaker carries the spirit of our custom shoemaking into every day, so that an ordinary morning can feel like an occasion of its own. A fine grosgrain finish rests softly against the ankle, and invisible seams leave the silhouette pure and uninterrupted. It is a shoe that keeps its grace long after others have lost theirs.

HOW?

Slowly, and by hand. Each piece of calfskin is cut by a craftsman's eye, each insole stitched by hand, and the Strobel construction gives the shoe a supple, glove-like ease. Beneath it lies the Margom Serena cup sole, made from 100% recycled rubber and paired with sustainably certified leather. Every supplier was chosen by us in person and every material bought direct, so that nothing stands between you and the craftsmanship.

WHERE?

In Montegranaro, among the hills of Le Marche, Italy, where shoemaking is less a trade than an inheritance. Generations of artisans have shaped the world's most admired shoes here, working by hand and turning to machines only when they must. It is here, in these workshops, that every pair of INIZIO dress sneakers begins.
