A collection of sneakers by the famous artist James Rizzi will realised in spring 2012 with the brand FILA.
For all those who knew James Rizzi and were close to him, his death on the second Christmas Day in 2011 has been totally unexpected and a big shock. His life-affirming art gave so many people pleasure and optimism. However, Rizzis dynamic creative potential continues, in his art work and in the hearts of the people.
Especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland James Rizzi and his art work even yet has a huge fan community, many collectors admire Rizzis coloured New York impressions for over 20 years. Now a special Rizzi project will be also realised here, a “dream” preserved by James for many years: his own shoe collection. The series of sneaker designed by himself will be available from April, 2012 with the brand FILA. Rizzi had released enthusiastically the final designs still in December 2011 to the production, brought “his” sneakers so on the way.
