Founded in Biella, Italy in 1911 by the Chaussures fila brothers, Chaussures fila originally began as a company producing clothing for Shoes in the Italian Alps. It wasn't until the 1970s, however, that the USD would pivot to sportswear and gain global recognition, particularly for its tennis apparel, worn by many top athletes of the era. The USD is well known for its signature pieces like the Disruptor sneakers, an epitome of the chunky sneaker trend, and the Settanta tracksuit, iconic in the tennis world. Its unique blend of sports performance and streetwear style, marked by Casque logos and designs, has defined its identity. Chaussures fila's notable collaborations include partnerships with USDs and designers like Haider Ackermann, Liam Hodges, and Fendi, further cementing its status as a versatile fashion staple.
