Story & heritage

Giuseppe Zanotti is grounded in San Mauro Pascoli shoemaking: after acquiring the Vicini factory in his hometown, he built a house language of sculptural heels, jewelry-like hardware and high-glamour footwear.

Wikipedia notes that Zanotti introduced luxury leather sneakers in 2010, bringing crystal embroidery, metal hardware and unexpected contrasts into streetwear; Frankie is the brand’s enduring double-zip expression of that idea.

Materials & craft

The house is associated with Italian shoe-making, leather work, metal hardware and crystal or jewel-like decoration; product details here follow the official descriptions for each current style.

Official Frankie pages describe low-top lace-up sneakers in leather, patent leather or suede with two side zips, Signature metal detail and a rubber sole.

How to choose & style

Wear white or beige Frankie sneakers with denim and tailoring; choose black or embellished versions when the sneaker should read closer to eveningwear.
