Our brand
Passion, authenticity and friendship.
Sneakers that we consider to be more than a product, but instead memories, inspiration and dreams. Since 2006, D.A.T.E. is not just the acronym of the four founders, but a project that embodies the desire to create an ever-growing contemporary product. This is how we describe ourselves, through our values and creations.
