We don't just make footwear... we make statements.
Born Outside reflects a new cadence in contemporary footwear.
Each shoe balances precision and ease, Italian refinement meeting modern rebellion.
Through quiet details and effortless form, the brand speaks to those who dress with intention, beyond trend, beyond season, outside the ordinary.
OUR STORY
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 Noichols, Ounass, and Harrods.
Craftsmanship
Our shoes are produced in the Veneto region of Italy, where generations of artisans have refined their craft over centuries.
This is a place where shoemaking is not just a trade, but a culture. Every stitch, every cut, every finish is the result of skill honed over decades.
We work exclusively with premium materials that age beautifully and endure: suedes that hold their depth of color, leathers selected for both texture and strength, vegetable-tanned lambskin linings that soften with time.
Every element is chosen to last, not just in wear but in relevance.
We blend tradition and modernity. Ancient techniques are combined with contemporary processes to create footwear that feels both classic and forward.
The result is shoes that carry the weight of history but are designed to move into the future.
design approach
Our shoes are defined by sleek, streamlined silhouettes with clean lines and minimal detailing, allowing the luxury of the materials to take center stage.
The style is timeless yet innovative, trendless, seasonless, and never boring. Each pair is a wardrobe staple with attitude, designed to carry an edge without losing refinement.
Born Outside moves easily between worlds, pairing just as naturally with wide-leg trousers, linen tailoring, or a thobe as with denim or shorts.
And because form and function go hand in hand, every design is built to be lived in: lightweight constructions, breathable linings, and ergonomic shapes that deliver comfort for long wear without compromise.
THE BORN OUTSIDE ETHOS
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.
