As many of you are aware, Pitti Uomo is in full swing over in the lovely Italian city of Florence. The good people at Buttero thought we would like to get a preview of what they’re showing as part of their Spring 2011 footwear offering for men. Their “Naturally” collection showcases their reworking of the textiles and molds around the classic trainer silhouette. Some complex twists (seen in the gallery) in leather offer excellent takes on this look but the outsole is really the pleaser here. They’re baked in with spot color which gives it a beautiful splatter (marbled) finish.

More looks at the Buttero “Naturally Collection” Spring/Summer 2011 preview after the click.
