When I imagine some exiting their Bentley, I’d expect to see formal leather shoes that make an obnoxious tapping sound with every step. That’s not what Bently has in mind for a limited number of their car owners with this collaboration with Dominic ‘The Surgeon’ Ciambrone.
These limited-edition sneakers will soon be available to Bentley owners, customised by The Surgeon. At the Art Basel Miami, the company will also be revealing a one-of-one Bentley x The Surgeon vehicle which is bound to be an interesting sight.
“Creativity and bespoke design is consistently woven into our DNA and has been since 1919, especially as it relates to our private coachbuilding division of Mulliner. Connecting and producing with a likeminded creative like The Surgeon is not only rewarding but also exciting to watch as we support the next generation of diverse craftspeople who share similar brand values.” – Christophe Georges, President & CEO, Bentley Americas
The Bentley x The Surgeon sneakers.
The Bentley x The Surgeon collaboration began in early 2022. Dominic is a self-taught creative who is known for their combination of high fashion and street culture.
Each one of these limited-edition sneakers has been handmade and includes Bentley’s signature diamond quilting, cross-stitching, and premium hides. All features you would experience inside the cabin of a Bentley model.
“Growing up, I was building, painting, sewing and not just shoes, it was anything I could get my hands on. This is a very special moment for The Surgeon brand and to showcase our creativity in a new light collaborating with Bentley. They are at the top of their craft and understand luxury and craftsmanship at the highest level as we do— it’s very exciting to partner with them and bring these visions to life.” – Dominic ‘The Surgeon’ Ciambrone
