THE ORIGINAL "VOLTA CLASSIC" – A UNIQUE MID-CUT SHOE

The Classic was the first, original Volta Footwear design, dated 2007.

It was born like an innovative-yet-classic hybrid between sneakers and casual shoes. Something you had never seen before, but somehow you could feel familiar with.

Ankle boots were not yet on their way back, but consumers were getting tired of wearing sporting footwear as well as bored about the same old "classic" brands' alternatives.

That is how Volta Classic entered the niche-market of indipendent retailers in a relatively fast and successful way, thanks to the forsight of this early mid-top design.

Today's footwear is prominently focussed on mid-cut, chukka boots with some casual evergreen design, inspired by 80s and 90s shoe-shapes. In this scenario, Volta Classic is still outstanding for its pioneering simplicity and surprising comfort, as well as easy to recognise among other casual footwear brands.

You can be sure it's an original Volta Classic by the signature upper's heel-patch, the quilted-nylon ribbed collar, and by a hand-stitched metal pin on the back featuring the symbol of the creative collective behind the brand, the Milan-based Twentyfourseven.
