These “Thrillez” are made for shocking.
Inspiration, materials, craftsmanship, and style moments:
behind the scenes of Zamparini’s funky-est shoe model.
If you grew up in the glittering ’80s, you’ll never forget a bold, unforgettable character like Lupin, the most original thief in cartoon history. Believe it or not, he’s the inspiration behind the Thrillez model from Zamparini’s Go Funky line of shoes.
Forget boring, conventional footwear. Think style, edge, and a touch of rebellion. Lupin’s iconic look – sharp jacket, tie, and those exaggerated round shoes – sparked a design that blends elegance with attitude. Well, this inspiration isn’t just a tribute. It’s a precise choice, a statement. A mix of charm and originality, just like the customers who wear the Thrillez.
Born from a meticulous selection of high-quality Italian tanneries, expertly cut and stitched by hand, the Thrillez are made with premium materials like crust leather and buckskin, hand-painted in the nicest blue shades. Styled as loafers with tassels, they feature a wide neckline and a bold, rounded toe. The construction is Blake, and the sole is leather with a rubber half-heel.
They are lasted using traditional artisan techniques, with water-softened reinforcements, needles, and hammering to achieve a flawless fit on an oversized, sculpted toe last. Each pair comes with a single shoe bag and cedarwood shoe trees to ensure optimal care and preservation.
Now that you know (almost) everything about this little gem to wear, imagine the perfect occasions to rock them. Here’s a tip: start with a rooftop party where you break the dress code with a unique, personal, and luxurious detail, adding a touch of funky soul to an exclusive evening, just like the style of someone you might find in Lupin’s world.
