YESTERDAY →
The company, founded by the Antonini brothers, was born in 1983 with a retail soul. A story that begins with 10 stores, followed by the first Nike reseller contract, which then chooses 3A as official distributor. The company thus has the opportunity to cultivate the Nike Inc. philosophy in Italy: in addition to the distribution of Nike, it also takes over, exclusively, the Nike Swim line. In 2017, 3A acquires the distribution of the Haddad Group, a U.S. multinational, for the 0-7 years clothing lines of Nike and 0-16 of the Jordan, Hurley and Converse brands, and the Converse Hosiery collections with the Delta Galil Group. Later 3A signs an agreement with PVH for the underwear, beachwear and accessories lines of Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Nike underwear. 3A becomes in 2022 the "Italian distributor" of Crep Protect, a must-have brand dedicated to sneaker care. In 2023, 3A debuts in the German and French markets by distributing the men's lines of Michael Kors and acquiring in the same year the distribution for Italy of Hurley and Ben Sherman. From 2025, Converse will also join the brand portfolio.
