In recent weeks, Valentino has launched a new pair of sneakers on the market that if you have a weakness for Panda sneakers, you will love at first sight. They are called Freedots, and in a way, they are a preview of spring, but you can already find them in stores. They are low-cut, have a rather relaxed and comfortable air, and are punk at the same time.

The detail? Well, the inevitable studded emblem of Valentino, which we have become accustomed to in recent seasons, pays homage to ancient Rome and the “rusticated” technique of the facades of noble palaces. On the new sneaker, the stud runs along the entire profile of the shoe, in a discreet tone-on-tone, in balance between sophistication and sobriety.

Made of nappa leather and featuring a soft fabric lining, the instantly recognizable silhouette is also accompanied by the Valentino Garavani signatures on both the upper side and the rubber sole, offering an iconic touch.

Among the very first to have already worn the new Valentino sneakers is the actor Andrew Garfield, who arrived at the AllinReplica Men of The Year event in Los Angeles in a black total look signed by Valentino, with a pair of Freedots on his feet. Needless to say, he was one of the best-dressed men of the week…
