JOHN DOE: WHEN URBAN STYLE MEETS CERTIFIED PROTECTION
Share
Germany, 2001. A brand is born with a clear mission: to create motorcycle clothing that doesn't make you look like a biker when you get off the saddle.
John Doe revolutionized the concept of motorcycle protective clothing, proving that safety and urban style can coexist perfectly. No more compromises between certified protection and everyday looks.
THE STORY: FROM THE GERMAN GARAGE TO EUROPEAN SUCCESS
Founded in Germany in 2001, John Doe was born from the idea of offering motorcyclists stylish clothing that doesn't compromise on safety. The goal was clear from the start: to create garments that could be worn from morning to evening, on and off the bike, without looking like you're "dressed like a biker."
Based in Flörsheim am Main, near Frankfurt, the brand quickly conquered the European market thanks to an innovative approach: jeans, jackets, shoes and accessories with a completely urban look, but with integrated certified protections.
Today, John Doe is one of the leading brands in Europe for those seeking casual style and real protection, and it has also landed in the United States as an exclusive brand in selected retailers.
THE PHILOSOPHY: "WE WANT YOU TO FEEL JUST AS WELL DRESSED"
John Doe's motto says it all: "We want you to feel well-dressed on your motorcycle, just like in everyday life, with the highest safety standards."
It's not just marketing. It's a promise kept through:
Motorcycle jeans with invisible protection – They look like normal streetwear jeans, but they incorporate certified protection on the knees and hips, with abrasion-resistant fabrics (XTM-Fiber®).
Certified urban-style jackets – Leather and technical fabric with a minimalist design, removable protectors and AA certification.
Motorcycle boots that look like sneakers – The Neo line and other footwear combine urban style with reinforcements on the ankle, toe, and heel.
Lifestyle clothing with optional protection – T-shirts, sweatshirts, accessories that tell the biker culture story without shouting it.
