D.A.T.E. is simply the acronym of the names of the four young founders: Damiamo (1980), Alessandro (1982), Tommaso (1981), Emiliano (1971). In 2005, the four of them met up in London and there, feeling dissatisfied with their working lives, decided to throw themselves into an ambitious project to create their own range of sneakers. Despite various difficulties, they succeeded in preparing their first collection, made up of just a few pieces. Based on Emiliano and Damiano’s experience they succeed in getting started. Picking up old machines here and there, they created a crude improvised workshop in Emi’s garage and met up there every evening after work - not being able to give up their day jobs for obvious reasons. They spent the summer shut up in that garage, working day and night, they finally managed to complete the job and succeed in delivering. In January 2006, thanks to a favour from a friend, they managed to get themselves invited to display as guests on a stand at Pitti Immagine Uomo, showing their collection in a small space. Owing to their decidedly craftsman’s feel, the first D.A.T.E. charmed the public and sold more than 8,000 pairs in just three days. They were a success! D.A.T.E. became the real news of the season. Their passion, together with their growing professional skills contribute to create a product with a high level of quality.
