Diesel Shoes

Diesel Shoes is part of Diesel S.p.A, a designer company based in Italy and founded by Renzo Rosso and Adriano Goldschmied in 1978. Throughout the 1990's Diesel grew into international marketing and opened their first flagship store in 1996. A great deal of Diesel Shoes production is outsourced to smaller companies, though production of certain products (such as jeans) are still made in Italy. The company has 17 subsidiaries, 200 retail outlets across the world and sales of over a billion dollars a year. In addition to shoes, Diesel makes clothes and intimate apparel, leather goods, eye wear, jewelry, watches and fragrances. Diesel Shoes runs an aggressive marketing campaign target younger consumers between the ages of 18 to 35, though they also have lines specially for children. Diesel Shoes' advertising spots have always been controversial as they usually feature suggestive content. (But how else do you get young people to listen?)
