Lelli Kelly celebrates 30 years with the reissue of its first major success, the “Frangetta Mix” style, never sold before in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This cult shoe was launched for the first time in the period between 1992 and 1993 and, following an important advertising campaign, became a real must-have in Italy.
To mark this prestigious anniversary, the Tuscan maison has decided to reissue the iconic “Frangetta Mix” style after three decades, with two important new features:
– The new release gives a nod to eco-sustainability: the upper material is made with the contribution of apples from Trentino-Alto Adige following the processing for the food industry. The apple scraps, which would otherwise be discarded, are sent to a Florence-based manufacturer where they are used to create innovative and sustainable materials;
– This is a limited edition comprising a total of a thousand pairs of shoes, each duly numbered from 1 to 1.000.
In terms of aesthetics, the new “Frangetta Mix” sneakers are the exact reissue of the ‘90s ones, characterized by a special fringe – “Frangetta” in Italian language – combined with an original trimming with floral patterns. The Lelli Kelly brand and logo also appear in the original vintage version.
- Each pair is numbered with a sticker on the padded tongue of the boot.
- Upper made with leather and apple scraps
- Child friendly lining
- Diamante Apple charm on the side
- Leather insole with perforated footbed for maximum breathability
- Lightweight flexible sole with Lelli Kelly branding
