A breathable mesh fabric, a modern design.

Lightness & performance.

The trainer with a modern design created to combine comfort and everyday dynamism, the one that accompanies you just as well for a sports session as for an urban look, here in its most versatile black version. The Messina embodies this contemporary versatility: a breathable mesh fabric in black that lets the foot breathe, a cleanly designed sporty lacing, a contrasting thick sole that provides cushioning, and optimal support, the signature of a true sports shoe. A pair that works with tailored joggers, raw denim jeans, or dark chinos with a knit sweater — for all the moments when comfort is non-negotiable.

A breathable mesh fabric, a modern design. The black mesh fabric covers the entire trainer, in a technical material that lets the foot breathe with every step. The modern design, shaped by the overlays and the thick sole, sets the Messina apart from classic trainers and gives it its dynamic character.

A textile lining, a flexible thick sole.

A textile lining, a flexible thick sole. The textile interior keeps the foot at a constant temperature, no matter how long the day lasts. Underneath, the thick synthetic sole offers lightness, flexibility, and optimal support — the cushioning of a sports shoe with every step. And the anatomical wedge sole subtly straightens posture — back straight, shoulders open, confident stride.

Mario Bertulli craftsmanship, applied to performance. Like all our models, the Messina secretly gives you +7.5 cm thanks to a completely invisible internal lift. What sets it apart: this lightness that combines sport and style, without ever making a compromise. You are not just wearing a height-increasing trainer — you are wearing the pair that follows you from sport to the city, backed by over fifty years of Italian craftsmanship.

A pair that accompanies you from morning sport to urban strolls, from tailored joggers to dark jeans, with the lightness and support of a true sports shoe.
