Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta was born in Milan in 1966, later becoming part of the Gucci Group. He specializes in fur and leather goods, including shoes: he recently launched the Jumbo, and any Simpsons fan would identify with them.
How did we get to The Simpsons? Recall Season 1 Episode 12, Krusty goes to jail. Yes, the one with the “very big shoes, very big shoes”.
When everyone thought that Krusty had held up the Kwik-E-Mart, Bart finally found out that it wasn’t the clown, but his old partner, Bob Patino, who sought to sink him before the law. All because the thief had “big shoes to fill.”
And although Bottega Veneta did not want it, its Sneaker Jumbo (such its name) directly evoke that chapter of the year 1990.
This is the Bottega Veneta Jumbo Sneaker
This high-top sneaker, created for women, is made of nylon with laces, in 100% polyamide material. The dominant color is black. with rubber sole and flat platform of 4.5 centimeters.
Its rubber logo is found both on the outer side and on the back, under the name of Bottega Veneta.
The main detail, without a doubt, it’s how long it is, very similar to a clown’s shoe, but with the sober black color.
Although the model also comes in two other combinations: white with green sole and total white. Unfortunately they are not in red, like those Krusty shoes in The Simpsons.
While in Europe they are sold for 950 euros, the price in Mexico is 25,150 pesos. In the United States it is found at $1,200.
