Rockstud™* wraparound strap decorating this Valentino bootie design. The Rockstud™-wrap bootie with a three-inch heel is covered by the US design patent, USD834794S, titled Shoe. The patent was awarded to Stefano Sassi, former Chief Executive of the Valentino Fashion Group, on July 2, 2019. The patent was then assigned to Valentino S.p.A, in Milan Italy.

Below, the patent Figure 1.1 depicts a perspective view of the Valentino Rockstud™-wrap bootie. Two images showing the wraparound strap, on right and left views of the marketed bootie, are also included. The bootie is shown in the classic Valentino poudre shade.

   

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.
