LUXURY SNEAKERS PLAYFULLY REMIXING REFINED LUXURY, QUALITY ITALIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND BOLD DESIGN
BORN OUTSIDE
LUXURY STREETWEAR
We are not traditional luxury and we are not traditional streetwear. We are a fusion of both. We bring together a contrast of styles, materials and colours to create unique products that stand out from the obvious and are unique to Born Outside customers.
100% MADE IN ITALY
Born Outside was proudly born in the United Arab Emirates. Unlike many other luxury brands, we are 100% made in Italy. We use luxury Italian leathers and traditional Italian craftsmanship methods to produce great quality products that defy the throwaway culture of fast fashion.
COMFORT OBSSESSED
At Born Outside, we are obsessed about comfort. We started this journey thinking: why luxury can't be comfortable? So we have worked on the construction of our sole and the selection of materials with the objective to make the most comfortable luxury sneaker in your collection. We hope you agree that we have succeeded.
ETHOS FIRST
The uniqueness of the products is synonyms with us wanting to celebrate individuality, self-expression, authenticity and breaking the norms.We aim to appeal to individuals who value this and want to inspire everybody to live life on their own terms.
ALFREDO BANDINI
Founder
Growing up in Rome, Alfredo was surrounded by endless possibilities, but it was exactly this environment that fueled his desire to do something different.
From early on, Alfredo didn't just go along with things because someone older or more senior or seemingly more qualified said so. He was all about finding his own path, questioning everything, and making his own choices.
While diving into the fashion scene in Dubai, Alfredo saw how fashion lets us say who we are without speaking. Yet, he also saw how the industry often chased after the latest thing, forgetting what really matters: quality, craftsmanship and creativity.
This sparked the birth of Born Outside, a brand that brings back the focus on craftsmanship, materials and an elegance that doesn't have to shout to be heard.
Daniel Pe
Co-Founder
Born and raised in a small village in Italy, Daniele has always been fascinated by fashion. He always felt inspired to live somewhere else, through experiencing the glamour of the fashion world and in all its uniqueness.
His career did not start in fashion, but rather in management consulting, and despite that was not his calling, he had the opportunity to explore the world. He has lived in 4 continents, traveled to 80+ countries and got to understand and appreciate different cultures, discovering who he is and learning to be truly himself.
Today, his collection of clothes represents the different facets of his personality, all the phases of his life so far and all the many places he has lived.
His wardrobe is his journey through self-expression which is exactly what fuels the ethos of Born Outside; A brand that takes the best of Italy and elevates it with an influx of cultures to create a better version of itself.
