The World of P448

P448 blends timeless design, thoughtful details and modern influence to create more than just footwear—it's a spirit stitched with Italian heritage, craftsmanship and cutting-edge comfort.

Founded in 2014 in Forli, Italy, P448 has always been an exploration of creativity, personal style, and expert craftsmanship. What started as a passion project between friends became a forward‑thinking footwear brand that draws inspiration from travel, street cultures and technical skills—all in the name of experimentation and expression. At our core, we are seekers, in life and in style. “You Can Surf Later” is our way of saying to enjoy life’s adventures, wherever our feet take us.

Our Pillars

Craftsmanship. Comfort. Culture.

At P448, we root ourselves in three pillars that define who we are, what we create and how we hope to evolve the world of footwear—through craftsmanship, comfort and culture.

Influenced by our Italian heritage, quality craftsmanship is at the core of every product, from the materials we source to the meticulous stitching and final lace. We believe that with great craft comes incomparable comfort, without compromising on style. Style is a culmination of the world and cultures around us, inspiring how we use color palettes, silhouettes and innovative materials to express ourselves through the very footwear we choose to wear each day.
