Born Outside was created by two Italians, Alfredo Bandini and Daniele Pe, who wanted more from sneakers: more comfort, more craft, less compromise.
Two outsiders, coming from a non fashion backround, chasing a dream. A dream to create something real, timeless, and globally relevant for today's urban professionals, from the ground up.
The brand started in Dubai, an unlikely place for Italian footwear, and that’s the point. We exist to challenge what’s expected.
Born as online only brand, it quickly moved into top tier retails in Middle east and Europe, being now available in Harvey Nichols, Ounass, and Harrods.
Born Outside shoes are crafted in the Veneto region of Italy, where shoemaking is not just a trade, but a culture.
Every pair reflects the dialogue between Italian tradition and modern design.
Our silhouettes are sleek and effortless, defined by clean lines and quiet detail. Materials take center stage ranging from soft suedes, supple leathers, and linings that age beautifully with time.
Each shoe is designed to last in form, function, and relevance. Lightweight, breathable, and built for movement, they blend precision with ease: heritage craftsmanship meeting contemporary clarity.
Born Outside stands for timeless design - refined, versatile, and never loud. Footwear that moves easily between worlds, made for those who value intention over excess.
Born Outside isn’t just a name, it’s a mindset.
It’s about being unapologetically ourselves.
It’s about taking pride in who we are, embracing our edges, and finding beauty in what makes us different. Even if that means standing, or feeling, outside the ordinary.
It’s for those who choose differently.
Who don’t seek validation or follow noise.
Who move with quiet confidence — grounded, certain, unshaken.
It’s about confidence without noise.
Individuality without compromise.
A way of seeing the world from the outside, and being proud to stand there.
