Oh, patents! Valentino Rockstud™ flat t-strap sandal

The Valentino Rockstud™* flat t-trap sandal is a patented invention. The US design patent, USD911680S, titled Shoe, was awarded to Stefano Sassi, former Chief Executive of the Valentino Fashion Group, on March 2nd, 2021. The patent was then assigned Valentino S.p.A, in Milan Italy.

Below, the patent Figure 1 depicts a perspective view of the flat t-stap sandal.  An image of the marketed flat t-strap Rockstud™ sandal is shown beneath in black patent leather.

                                 

   


Note
* As a reminder, the Valentino Rockstud trademark, decorating all things Valentino, was inspired by the cut-diamond-shaped stones, adorning the architecture of old Palazzi in the Italian city of Rome. Introduced in 2010, and re-introduced in 2016, the Valentino Rockstud™ is now an inseparable Valentino symbol, at the intersection of rebellion and high fashion.
