ID stands for Identity, EIGHT embodies infinity. The rest is yours to write, one step at a time.

Born from the magical meeting of Dong Seon Lee and Giuliana Borzillo, Id.Eight is much more than a brand: it is a dream brought to life in every pair of sneakers. 

 

He, a minimalist creative from the most authentic Seoul, and she, passionate about sustainability and cutting-edge marketing, met in 2017 during a footwear trade fair and immediately realized they shared a single vision.

 

After significant studies and careers – Dong between Korea and Germany, Giuliana between Naples and Florence – they decided to join their forces (and their hearts) to give shoes a new soul and a 90s look.

 

Every model tells the story of their complementarity: Dong's innovative design and Giuliana's ethics, combined to create a style without compromise.

 

Our mission is to create high-quality sneakers, made with recycled materials and biomaterials, which are materials partially of plant origin such as Uppeal, BioVeg, and Vegea.

 

These sneakers, produced in Portugal, are designed to combine comfort and style without gender distinctions, inspired by the essential lines of the 90s.

GUIDED BY THE INFINITE 

We want to represent a new vision of fashion, where innovation, aesthetics, and sustainability coexist in perfect harmony, offering products that combine character and transparency, without compromise.

ID8 STORY

In February 2020, Giuliana and Dong launched their crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, a fundraiser to finance the first production of their sneakers. By setting a minimum goal of just €10,000, 320 backers believed in their project within a few weeks, allowing them to raise over €36,000 and far exceed the established threshold.

That wave of confidence turned an idea into reality: the first shoes took shape before their eyes, blending 90s design, innovative materials, and a touch of magic born from their love.
