About Australian
Australian by L’Alpina is an Italian sports label, launched in 1956 by Milan-based L’Alpina Maglierie Sportive (founded in 1946 by Leardo Gabrielli). It started out with tennis clothing, but its links to the court have remained: the brand has long been associated with tennis and the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation. Today, footwear is also central to the label, with sneakers and everyday styles that carry its sporting heritage. In the Netherlands, Australian became a cult name in the gabber scene during the 1990s, and from 2016 onwards it expanded its everyday clothing and footwear lines—from baseline to bassline and on to the streets. If you’re looking for court influences without looking like you’re in costume, this is the place to be. On Solezilla, you can compare different stores and sizes at a glance, making it easy to find the pair that suits you.
