D.A.T.E. is a dynamic footwear brand that stands for Design, Art, Talent, and Energy — the initials of its four founders, whose paths crossed in London before bringing their shared vision to life in Tuscany. Their project began in 2005 in a small garage, where passion and creativity led to the first handcrafted sneaker prototypes. Just months later, their debut at Pitti Uomo marked the start of international recognition. Though the brand’s name was born in the UK, the spirit of D.A.T.E. is purely Italian. Each sneaker is designed and developed in Tuscany, using premium Italian materials, while production takes place in carefully selected facilities abroad. The brand’s headquarters in Empoli reflects its commitment to transparency and clarity, both in design and values. D.A.T.E. stands out for its balance of trendy aesthetics, innovative construction, and eco-compatible choices. Collections evolve constantly, embracing bold textures, fresh color palettes, and refined silhouettes, always with a focus on responsibility and detail. Whether you’re drawn to minimal lines or bold design, D.A.T.E. offers sneakers that merge identity, comfort, and contemporary edge.
