An evolving archive
Welcome to the FILA Museum Foundation Archives, where a hundred years of history is being prepared for fresh narratives. Our collections — clothes, shoes, and accessories that shaped the brand’s journey — are going through a big transformation.
We take great care to maintain each item with special treatments and processes, but now we have a new goal: to connect this heritage with the present day. The archive will no longer just sit on shelves and in boxes. It will be a living resource, using modern cataloguing techniques and innovative ways to share it.
The FILA Archive. A transformation in progress
Every step — from careful cleaning and repairing damage to using advanced vacuum packing — is just the beginning of an even bigger transformation.
We are reshaping the future of our archive. Soon, documents, videos, photos, catalogues, and sketches won’t just be a collection, but a dynamic, growing ecosystem. We’re developing new ways to digitise and organise every item, turning this heritage from a static memory into a lively, interactive resource.
The change has begun
Soon we will reveal how the FILA archive will connect past and future dialogues in new ways. A place where each artefact will tell its story, and where every visitor will discover unexpected connections.
Stay connected: the transformation has only just begun.
The video documents the innovative process of restoring and preserving historical FILA shoes. The foundation has adopted a unique and experimental method that begins with cleaning and reconstructing any damage. Next up, the shoes are treated with special products for each material. Finally, to protect the shoes from external agents such as oxygen particles, vacuum packaging is applied.
