Operation "Nostalgia" for Pantofola d'Oro – A Tribute to the Greatness of Football.

When history and passion come together, extraordinary collaborations are born.

Pantofola d'Oro, a symbol of football thanks to decades of tradition and artisanal mastery, has accompanied the exploits of legends such as Charles, Cruijff, Rivera, Mazzola, Riva, Conti, Puskás, Garrincha, Falcão, and Mancini.

These champions wrote unforgettable pages in the history of football, representing an era when pure talent and class reigned supreme.

Operation Nostalgia, with its mission to celebrate football in its most authentic form, aligns perfectly with this philosophy.

The result of this meeting is VERONICA, a shoe that is much more than just a product: it is a shared manifesto.

Its name is inspired by the eponymous technical move—elegant and unpredictable—made famous by virtuosos like Zidane.

For both brands, bringing technique back to the heart of the game is a mission. With Veronica, this value takes tangible form.

Extremely elegant in its simplicity and crafted from the finest Italian leather, Veronica is designed to mold to the foot over time, offering increasing comfort and a perfect fit. It’s a shoe made for those who live football with style, passion, and authenticity.

“For over 10 years, the great aspiration of Operazione Nostalgia has been to bring technique and the quality of play back to the center of the football world. In this direction, the partnership with a historic and prestigious brand like Pantofola d’Oro marks a truly important and decisive concrete step—one that makes us extremely proud,”says Andrea Bini, founder and driving force behind Operation Nostalgia.

“Thanks to the experience and unique craftsmanship of Pantofola d’Oro, we’ve created a shoe that fully embodies the spirit of both brands: classic, elegant, and made with the highest-quality materials—perfect for allowing those who wear it to express their full potential on the pitch.We named it ‘Veronica’ after one of the most beautiful technical moves in football—one of those gestures that made us fall in love with the game. We’re confident that at the Fan Village during the Parma gathering on June 8, where it will be available for purchase at Pantofola d’Oro’s dedicated stand, it will instantly become a cult object for thousands of fans.”

The official debut of Veronica will take place at the Operazione Nostalgia Gathering, scheduled for June 8 at the Stadio Tardini in Parma.

The shoe will be available in a limited edition, sold exclusively at the Fan Village starting from 10 AM in Piazza Ghiaia, at the Pantofola d’Oro stand.

A celebration that brings together past and present, paying tribute to a kind of football that never stops making hearts beat.
