Story & heritage
Bensimon's history page marks 2020 as the birth of the B79. The Romy B79 product page frames it as the little sister of the iconic tennis shoe, arriving 40 years later with a more urban, sneaker-like look.
Romy keeps the low-cut attitude of the original while shifting the proportions: a thicker sole, lined fabric and a comfort insole make it the year-round member of the tennis family.
Materials & craft
The official composition lists a 100% cotton upper, GOTS-certified cotton lining, an insole made from recycled cork and sugarcane, a recycled rubber outsole, nickel-free metal eyelets and handmade production in Spain.
How to choose & style
Use Romy B79 when the classic Bensimon feels too delicate: the thicker sole stands up to wide-leg denim, overshirts and utilitarian trousers without losing the canvas softness.
