The Ferrari of Footwear


The Ferrari of Footwear literally speaking. This design mirrors the architectural silhouette of a Ferrari. Its Space Age inspired design paired with glistening metallic leathers and extraordinary almond shaped toe box. All you have to do is put a pair on to empower the world.

Raphael Young is the extraordinary talent behind the Ferrari of Footwear. Young was first inspired to design shoes at the tender age of 14 after attending his first haute couture show. Trained under his uncle Alexandre Narcy, who was the head of Yves Saint Laurent's shoe studio for 40 years, he even received some key advice from Mr. Laurent himself: "keep it simple." He went on to work at various design houses in Italy, including Gianmarco Lorenzi, before starting his own line.

These days, Young pays close attention to balance, proportion and physics as he handcrafts his own wooden lasts and sole materials, as a result: Unequivocally Comfortable Footwear!

These are more than a pair of shoes, they are the Ferrari of Footwear.
