ABOUT ME
Since founding my brand JEROME RUGGIERO in 2009, I’ve been passionately dedicated to designing products for those seeking a truly distinctive style.
Today, after nearly two decades of research, dedication, and constructive feedback, I’m proud to introduce the Coerenza sneaker — a model that stands out for its exceptional quality. This design was imagined and sketched in my office in Belgium, during a special moment shared with my six-year-old daughter. As we played with shapes and ideas, the sneaker gradually came to life. We were both deeply immersed, guided by a divine inspiration that seemed to flow through our hands. It was in that very moment I realized we had created something both logical and inherently beautiful.
The next challenge was to bring this vision into the real world. Once again, fate was kind and led me to Luca — a prototyping expert based in Italy. Like me, he works transparently and with family, serving some of the biggest names in the industry. Our connection was instant, and our collaboration, seamless.
As for production, the workshop located in the Marche region of Italy brings bold and complex projects like mine to life — entirely by hand. This is a far cry from mass production. I’m also fortunate to work with a Belgian photographer who fully grasps my creative vision. He’s a gifted specialist in object photography. Finally, my webmaster, based in France, is part of a passionate young team with outstanding web culture.
This sneaker embodies both passion and beauty, with one goal: to bring you complete satisfaction and make you feel truly great in your shoes.
