Piloti Debuts at Chicago Collective: Racing Heritage Meets Refined Menswear
Piloti proudly made its debut at the Chicago Collective, North America’s premier menswear trade show—bringing our unique blend of motorsport legacy and modern lifestyle design to the heart of the fashion world.
Known for performance-driven craftsmanship and our deep roots in automotive culture, Piloti hit the floor with an energized presence. From premium driving footwear to curated moments throughout the event, the debut was more than just a showing—it was a statement.
A Weekend Fueled by Style and Speed
To celebrate our first Collective appearance, we hosted an exclusive cocktail event just a few blocks away—inviting friends, buyers, and tastemakers into the world of Piloti. Guests enjoyed signature drinks, racing-inspired displays, and a preview of what's next for the brand.
With our 1973 IndyCar All-American Eagle on site and our latest footwear designs on full display, the atmosphere was a perfect blend of refinement and adrenaline—true to our DNA.
What We Brought to the Show
On the floor, we introduced new collections that reflect Piloti’s evolution: a bold lineup of driving shoes that balance performance-grade materials with city-ready styling. Each pair blends form and function—ideal for buyers seeking fresh, differentiated offerings for their shelves.
More importantly, we shared what makes Piloti tick: our passion for craft, our obsession with detail, and our mission to redefine the lifestyle category through an automotive lens.
What’s Next
With a series of new styles and motorsport enthusiast gear launching later this year, the Chicago Collective was the perfect runway to kickstart what’s ahead. Piloti is gearing up for an exciting second half of 2025—and we’re just getting started.
If you stopped by our booth or joined us at the cocktail party—thank you. If not, we’ll see you next time. Until then, stay driven.
