Who are we

Born from the Sea. Crafted for the City.

Welcome to BRACKEN Footwear, where the nautical spirit meets effortless everyday style.


The Origin: A Vintage Riva & A Vision

The BRACKEN story begins with a passion for the sea and a love for vintage craftsmanship. While restoring a 1970 Riva 25 Fisherman boat, Julian Sidonio—CEO of the Molly Bracken brand galaxy—realized something was missing from his wardrobe.

Living an international, fast-paced life between motorsports, sailing, and business meetings, Julian needed a shoe that could keep up. He wanted something incredibly light, easy to slip on, and versatile enough to transition seamlessly from a boat deck to a chic restaurant.

From this simple intuition, BRACKEN was born.

Elegance in Motion

Fruit of two years of dedicated research and development, BRACKEN is more than just a footwear line; it’s a philosophy of life. It translates the famous "French casual chic" into the modern man's wardrobe.

Whether you are navigating the weekend at the club-house, traveling the world, or heading to a business meeting, our shoes are designed for every moment of life. They are crafted without rigid elements, ensuring a natural flexibility that perfectly embraces the movement of your foot.

The result? Absolute lightness, premium breathable materials (including stunning vegan suede), and a shoe that floats on water and washes in the machine.

Uncompromising Comfort

We believe that modern men shouldn't have to choose between style and comfort. With custom-designed soles offering superior cushioning and ultra-breathable cotton canvas linings meant to be worn barefoot, BRACKEN guarantees an instant feeling of comfort, season after season.

Curious, active, and always moving forward. Welcome to the BRACKEN lifestyle.

“For me, true elegance is the one that accompanies movement. BRACKEN is a shoe that follows your rhythm and takes you further.” — Julian Sidonio, Founder & CEO
