What do the German football star Philipp Lahm and Dutch shoe designer Floris van Bommel have in common?The 2010 autumn/winter fight against AIDS!
The Van Bommel shoe company dates back to 1734 in Breda, the Netherlands, and is now managed by the ninth generation of three brothers: Floris, Reynier and Pepijn.
Philipp Lahm was born 1983 in Munich, Germany, and is a footballer who plays as a defender for Bayern Munich.
Now these two men bring together two related but separate worlds—shoe wear and football. They do so in an all out effort to support an education campaign directed at children and adolescents with AIDS.
Instead of an athletic sneaker, the choice went hands down for a black patent leather dress shoe.Sheer in look, the shoe is lined with brown linen and, on the pink insole, you will find a chic joint logo.
100% of the proceeds from the sale of the special model shoe will be donated to the German AIDS Foundation.
The edition will be available by December 1, just in time for World AIDS Day, and will sell at a price of 260 euro.
