With the 2023 NBA Finals days away, the Shoe Surgeon teams up with DoorDash to create customized kicks based on fans’ favorite game day meals. To kick off the “Ritual Restock,” Dominic Ciambrone, the Surgeon, designed a shoe inspired by his family’s deli, the Canevari’s Deli.
The checkered pattern comes directly from the old-school tablecloths. The colors are a nod to my family’s Italian heritage. The rope lacing mirrors our hand-woven pasta, made fresh daily at the deli. The smell of freshly cooked ravioli on Friday game nights – it’s only right we included our specialty as the hangtag. Meshing my family’s love of food, our love for the craft and love for the game are all nostalgic pieces of the memories that inspired this design.

Other designs have been chosen by Ciambrone and DoorDash for their Ritual Restock collection to showcase different cultures and cuisines. We don’t have images of the other models yet, but we’ll keep you posted when that changes.
