WEBSIGHT by Karin Sawetz, November 2011

A shoe/sport collaboration's 'monster'

Funny intro on geox.com/redbullracing where a foaming 'monster' welcomes the visitor! The virtual creature remembers the breathing sole of the Italian label Geox and references the shoe brand's collaboration with the Formula 1 Red Bull Racing Team. The collaboration was extended in October 2011 to the end of 2013.


The funny intro leads the visitor to videos such as the one embed on this page. The 'Behind The Scenes At The Geox Shoot' shows double World Champion Sebastian Vettel as the face of the new campaign FW2011/12 for the 'Amphibiox'-line by Geox.

Since March 2011, Geox-Red Bull Racing shoe collections are available. I can remember that it started with pieces for women, men and kids. Now, only men and kids shoes are online; even in SS2012 only men and kids can enjoy the sportive Geox-Red Bull Racing collection (release in March 2012). But the exclusion could be a joy for women too: a good argument is given to men to go with the kids 'only' on shoe shopping tour. And now I even understand the 'monster' on geox.com/redbullracing better - it is boyish.
