The name Triple Stitch™ comes from the signature triple-crossed detail – a symbol that represents Italian craftsmanship. This reference is both an emblem of ZEGNA’s tailoring heritage and a functional element that allows the shoe to slip on easily while retaining its refined identity.

Triple Stitch™ embodies ZEGNA’s ability to blend tradition and innovation. It has become a global icon of the brand: it mixes elegance and practicality, becoming a versatile shoe with an unmistakable identity. Who chooses to wear the Triple Stitch™ shoe is a man who identifies himself with craft and elegance.

Since its introduction, the Triple Stitch™ shoe has continually evolved, while staying true to its original design – a perfect balance of craftsmanship, innovation, and effortless style.

Born from a marriage between renowned Italian craftsmanship and an unwavering pursuit of perfection, the Triple Stitch™ was conceived as a new kind of slip-on – elegant, comfortable, and unmistakably ZEGNA.
Over the years, the Triple Stitch™ has been refined through ongoing research and technical innovation. It has become lighter, softer, and more flexible thanks to advancements in materials and construction – from supple SECONDSKIN glove leather to innovative lightweight soles. These changes have enhanced comfort without compromising the shoe’s timeless aesthetic.
As ZEGNA’s world has expanded, so too has the Triple Stitch™. The line now includes a variety of luxurious materials – from grained leather to SECONDSKIN, and even responsibly sourced exotic skins – offering versatility for every occasion. New iterations such as the Triple Stitch™ Vetta explore more adventurous, lifestyle-driven silhouettes while preserving the shoe’s refined DNA.

Today, the Triple Stitch™ stands as an icon of timeless luxury — a symbol of our ongoing quest to perfect a design that embodies both heritage and innovation. It continues to evolve in step with those who wear it, expressing ZEGNA’s belief that true luxury lies in craftsmanship and timeless style.

The Triple Stitch™ returns in Spring Summer 2026 in its most refined iteration, in SECONDSKIN nubuck, reinforcing its status as a ZEGNA global icon. It fits seamlessly within the Trivero chapter of the campaign, which explores naturalistic elements, lightness, and textural depth. The campaign is set in the Giardino dei Porcinai, a quiet garden realised by visionary architect Pietro Porcinai. Known also as the Winter Garden, it’s a place where balance lives in nature and architecture, a retreat in which to find contemplation, stillness and privacy, and the authentic way of northern Italian living.

Triple Stitch™ is representative of this lifestyle: with its signature triple-crossed elastic detail (a nod to hand-tailored stitching), the shoe embodies mobility, craft, and timelessness. The new SECONDSKIN version enhances this with a soft finish that complements the campaign’s naturalistic setting and organic transitions.

Triple Stitch ™ is technically a sneaker, yet it transcends that definition. It is a leisurewear shoe that combines the ease and versatility of leisurewear with the refinement and elegance of fine footwear. Since its first redesign, Triple Stitch™ has been continually refined, becoming lighter, softer, and more comfortable through technical improvements and artisanal research.

Triple Stitch™ is not limited to one model but rather represents a full branded footwear family within ZEGNA. It is reinterpreted every season with new materials such as SECONDSKIN, deerskin and suede, while retaining its instantly recognisable detail and light construction.

The SECONDSKIN nubuck version is unique for its high-quality grain leather, which makes the leather exceptionally soft and supple while adding a textural richness that ensures a pleasant fit. The velvety look and softness are obtained by a very specific sanding process that makes this leather unique. Every pair is revised individually by artisans, resulting in subtle differences that enhance its exclusivity. The combination of glove-like fit, refined finish, and artisanal craftsmanship elevates it above other variations.

The Triple Stitch™ SECONDSKIN nubuck is engineered as a deconstructed slip-on shoe that achieves a glove-like fit by pairing an ultra-soft, nubuck-treated calf-leather upper with the lightest possible internal components. Its construction balances flexibility and support through a minimal toe counter, a Strobel insole, and a pared-back lining – all calibrated specifically for SECONDSKIN nubuck, so the shoe moves naturally with the foot. Pattern placement on each hide is carefully analysed before cutting to optimise yield and preserve the leather’s character, and because the leather is exceptionally thin, precision machine cutting is used to ensure accuracy.


The Triple Stitch™ is an everyday shoe; however, it should be noted that, due to the delicate nature of the leather with which they are produced, in extreme weather conditions the perfect options are Triple Stitch™ Monte and Vetta.
