GEOX the premier Italian footwear brand famous and British shoe designer
Patrick Cox have created the eye catching footwear that Elton John will wear during
his new show The Million Dollar Piano, which has just opened at Caesar’s Palace
in Vegas.
It’s a traditional English
brogue but with a showbiz twist of metallic leather in all colours
of the rainbow. And if all the champagne popping makes the floor a little wet, Elton's shoes will be protected as they are made in GEOX
innovative leather patent, which makes leather soles champagne and waterproof.
Mr Mario Moretti
Polegato, Chairman of GEOX comments "I am happy to collaborate with such a
great artist as Elton John, whose music I have always loved, and I see fashion
and innovation coming together on a stage that will attract global
attention."
The Million Dollar
Piano Tour opened at Caesar’s Palace on 28th September 2011 and is named after the unique
Yamaha piano that Elton John and Yamaha created especially for the show.

GEOX is the premier Italian footwear brand known
for its invention of the “shoe that breathes". GEOX created a cult-like
following in more than 100 countries with its breathable technology and stylish
Italian design offering fashionable collections for women's,
men's and children. Headquartered in Italy, GEOX is available in more

ABOUT GEOX TECHNOLOGY GEOX boasts an
exclusive technology that is used in the manufacturing and designing of all the
footwear that bares its name. At the heart of this invention is a
microporous membrane that acts like a second skin. When placed inside the GEOX
perforated rubber sole, the membrane manages sweat and heat, allows humidity to
be evaporated and keeps water out and feet dry. Each pore of this membrane is
smaller than a water droplet so that water can’t penetrate the membrane but big
enough to let sweat vapour, a molecule 700 times smaller than a drop of water,
to easily pass through the membrane and right out through the holes of the
sole. Both waterproof and breathable, GEOX’s revolutionary technology
provides comfort and wellbeing by constantly eliminating moisture and
preventing odours that typically develop when shoes don’t ventilate, recreating an ideal
microclimate inside the shoe to keep feet cool and dry in the summer and warm
and dry in the winter

label in 1994. Patrick Cox has been called the “Ferragamo” of the MTV
generation and with his cool shoes he made everyone aware that shoe designers

Beckham have all stepped out in Patrick’s shoes. Cox was twice awarded
