A step through heritage: La Marzocco and KOIO unveil a limited-edition sneaker

At La Marzocco, we’ve always believed that excellence lies in the details—whether it’s the nuanced engineering of our espresso machines or the rich crema atop a perfectly pulled shot. Today, we’re thrilled to extend that belief into a new, unexpected space: the world of Italian footwear.

In collaboration with KOIO, an Italian-American brand known for its elegant, handcrafted sneakers, we’re proud to announce the launch of the KOIO x La Marzocco limited-edition sneaker — a unique fusion of Italian espresso heritage and contemporary design.

Born in Florence in 1927, La Marzocco has spent nearly a century shaping the coffee landscape, combining artistry, innovation, and a deep respect for tradition. Similarly, KOIO is redefining luxury footwear with a dedication to timeless craftsmanship, sustainability, and style. Every KOIO sneaker is crafted by hand in Italy, a philosophy that resonates deeply with our own legacy of hand-assembled machines.

This collaboration is more than a fashion statement — it’s a celebration of movement, of city life, and of the rituals that ground us. Designed for those who navigate the world with purpose, the KOIO x La Marzocco sneaker captures the rhythm of a morning espresso, the ambiance of a neighborhood café, and the timelessness of Italian design.

The sneaker itself is a story of textures and materials — each detail echoing the essence of classic espresso bars. Crafted in Italy from rich, locally sourced leather, the shoe features subtle design elements inspired by the iconic silhouette and materials of La Marzocco’s espresso machines. The result is a refined, modern sneaker that carries the same spirit of craftsmanship and intention that defines our machines.
