FILA has unveiled its new “Famous NY Style Pizza” collection, featuring five footwear styles created in collaboration with iconic pizzerias from all five boroughs of New York City.

The collection includes an F-13 for Lee’s Tavern in Staten Island, three Renno styles for Louie & Ernie’s in the Bronx, sLICe Astoria in Queens, and Rubirosa Ristorante in Manhattan, rounded out by an Original Fitness Ripple for Roberta’s in Brooklyn. Each style features a map of NYC on the back of the tongue, highlighting the borough where the pizzeria is located. The sneakers come packaged in custom co-branded shoe boxes that resemble actual pizza boxes.

FILA’s Famous NY Style Pizza Collection will be available starting July 26th exclusively on FootLocker.com and at select Foot Locker locations. Learn more about each individual pair below.

FILA F-13 “Lee’s Tavern”
Release Date: July 26, 2022
Price: $90 USD

The FILA F-13 x Lee’s Tavern is a classic black and white design, in tumbled leather and suede with pops of black on the FILA flag, logo embroidery on the tongue, and “Lee’s Tavern Est 1940” on the upper. The owner’s catchphrase, “What the world needs is pizza and quiet,” appears on the back heel. The sockliner highlights the restaurant’s Hancock Street corner signage, a design element that can be seen through the shoe’s ice sole.

FILA Renno “Louie & Ernie’s”
Release Date: July 26, 2022
Price: $100 USD

The FILA Renno x Louie & Ernie’s was crafted in a white, red, and green colorway to reflect the Italian flag, and to celebrate the pizza joint that has been dishing up traditional thin-crust pies and slices since 1959. Louie & Ernie’s branding is embroidered on the tongue and featured on the back counter. As a clever nod to the pizzeria’s policies, “Sorry, Cash Only” and “No Delivery” are printed on the toe cap, while “Louie & Ernie’s Pizza” appears on the back heel. The sockliner is embellished with an outline of the restaurant, appearing through an ice bottom.

FILA Renno “Rubirosa Ristorante”
Release Date: July 26, 2022
Price: $100 USD

The FILA Renno x Rubirosa Ristorante celebrates the family-run, Italian-American, neighborhood restaurant and pizzeria on Mulberry Street. The footwear was created in a white, orange and gold colorway, with a pop of RED green on the FILA flag and a co-branded Rubirosa Ristorante and FILA logo on the tongue. The red lines that appear on both the side of the shoe and the sockliner are meant to represent the restaurant’s outside awning. As another nod to the founder AJ’s legacy, the heel is decorated with “one love” atop red, yellow and green hearts.

FILA Renno “sLICe Astoria”
Release Date: July 26, 2022
Price: $100 USD

The FILA Renno x sLICe was designed in macadamia, orange and black, to play off the pizzeria’s signature colorways. The clean and sleek design is meant to mimic the restaurant’s contemporary décor. sLICe and FILA branding hits are included on the tongue, heel and sockliners, which are decorated with a repeating graphic print that features slices of pizza.

FILA Original Fitness Ripple “Roberta’s”
Release Date: July 26, 2022
Price: $85 USD

The FILA Original Fitness Ripple x Roberta’s pays homage to the Bushwick pizza staple. The sleek white design features an all-over print, with Roberta’s famous script logo in a cherry tomato hue. Roberta’s branding also appears on the tongue and through a window cutout on the back heel. The shoe’s sockliner mimics a menu, as it highlights the pizzeria’s most popular pies.
