Victoria Sneakers
Over a century ago, in 1915, a Spanish shoemaker in La Rioja named his canvas gym shoe after the love of his life: Victoria. That vulcanized canvas sneaker became the symbol of an entire generation.

About Victoria
Forget today’s hype—Victoria is playing a much longer game. In 1915, in a small village in La Rioja in northern Spain, Gregorio designed a canvas trainer and named it after his first love, his wife Victoria. In the 1950s, the then-new vulcanisation technique was introduced, giving rise to the legendary zapatilla de lona: the fabric sneaker with a rubber sole that became the symbol of an entire Spanish generation in the 1980s. The shoes are still largely made by hand in La Rioja, one by one, just as they were more than a century ago—including that distinctive strawberry scent in the box. Today, three-quarters of production goes to more than fifty countries. From retro canvas classics to urban V-sneakers, the range is broad and every retailer prices it differently. At Solezilla, you can compare the selection and get your size at the best price.
