About Stone Island

Stone Island was founded in 1982 by the legendary Massimo Osti and changed sportswear forever with innovative fabrics and dyeing techniques. The compass emblem on the sleeve grew into one of the most recognisable — and respected — badges in fashion.

You can see that same technical focus in the sneakers: functional materials, considered constructions and a rugged, urban look. No embellishment, just engineering — exactly what the brand’s loyal following values.

If you’re looking for a sneaker with technical credibility and a recognisable, rugged look, Stone Island is a strong choice. The fit is generally true to size; if you’re unsure, check the store’s size advice.

Stone Island is available from several retailers, each with its own selection. Browse the participating shops to see which models and colours are available now — and where to find your size.
