A Legend is Born: Meet ZEGNA Triple Stitch SECONDSKIN

Introducing the latest evolution of  ZEGNA’s iconic Luxury Leisurewear Shoe — the Triple Stitch SECONDSKIN. It is widely known that ZEGNA upholds the ancient craft of shoemaking, blending innovation with tradition while ensuring that each creation is infused with human expertise at its heart. And of course, every legend at ZEGNA begins with the finest materials and the expertise of the brand’s dedicated artisans.​⁠

The legend of SECONDSKIN begins with glove leather, which was recognised by by ZEGNA’s dedicated artisans for its impeccable softness and lightness. The shoe is lighter, softer and more comfortable thanks to a Strobel insole, newly designed toe counter and ultrafine lining.​⁠

Crafting the new shoe requires 68 complex components with countless techniques passed from one generation to the next, as well as a blend of ancient and technologically advanced and processes.

Designing the iconic Triple Stitch SECONDSKIN began with elegant pencil strokes on paper. Prior to being imbued with a soul by the skilled hands of the master craftspeople, the concept of SECONDSKIN becomes three-dimensional through a harmonious blend of technology and innovation.

Measuring just 0.8mm in thickness, SECONDSKIN leather is exceptionally lightweight, soft and durable — making it ideal for uppers and linings. The exclusive material features a remarkable ‘memory’ that moulds to your proportions with every journey you make. It is also resistant to creasing in order to maintain its rich appearance and smooth texture in the long run. The shoe embodies the pinnacle of luxury.

The Triple Stitch SECONDSKIN is the lightest, softest, and most comfortable iteration of ZEGNA’s Luxury Leisurewear Shoe to date; it is the shoe that fits like a glove.
