How does a 60-year-old, made-in–Italy shoe brand propel itself into the future? By entering the metaverse. During Milan Fashion Week, Casadei celebrated the 10th anniversary of its iconic ‘Blade’ stiletto by inviting guests to an immersive virtual experience. The emblematic heel takes its name from the science-fiction blockbuster movie Blade Runner, and Casadei justly commemorated the shoe and the futuristic film with the debut of the brand’s NFT project.
