A Literal ‘Sneaker Island’ Is Coming To Dubai’s Coastline

Born Outside Italy has a new travel experience in the works that’s perfect for sneakerheads and fashion lovers. The streetwear brand’s forthcoming “Sneaker Island” will combine the best of shopping and living. This unique stay promises to be both an exclusive residential development and a premier fashion retail destination.
The brand raised awareness about Sneaker Island during the launch party of its Sneaker 001 earlier this month. A rendering of the project shows a one-of-a-kind sneaker-shaped development. The vision included palm trees, pools, white architecture, and a two-way road wrapping around the island.
“Sneaker Island represents a bold departure from traditional real estate developments,” said Born Outside Italy Founder Alfredo Bandini, according to Breaking Travel News. “We believe that true luxury lies in the finest materials with impeccable construction. We aim to bring together the worlds of fashion and architecture in this groundbreaking project. We hope to create a unique space for individuals to fully live life on their terms and express themselves by indulging in their passion for sneakers.”

The rooms have open-concept planning, floor-to-ceiling windows, and indoor-to-outdoor integration.Cleverly, Sneaker Island’s website promises “beautifully crafted uppers and comfy, layered inners.”
