Pantofola d'Oro x Thebe Magugu

Pantofola d'Oro x Thebe Magugu brings together one of Italian football's oldest footwear names and the distinctive visual world of the South African designer.

The collaboration takes its starting point from street football. Not the polished version under stadium lights, but the game played wherever there is enough space for a ball, where shirts become uniforms and football can create its own sense of belonging.

Magugu draws on African chitenge fabrics, geometric vinyl-floor patterns and the warm colours of the South African landscape, bringing a very different visual language into Pantofola d'Oro's football archive. The result sits somewhere between football footwear, fashion and the kind of kit you could imagine appearing on a street pitch long before it reaches a runway.
