This month marks JB Ander's first-ever pop-up and we couldn’t have dreamed of a more thrilling debut than Race Weekend in Austin, TX.

Set against the legendary backdrop of the biggest Grand Prix in North America, the kickoff event is designed for connection—an evening where fans, friends, and colleagues can network, celebrate, and get into the spirit of the weekend ahead.

Why Austin?

The Italian countryside - home to our brilliant ateliers - and Texas may seem worlds apart, but Florence and Austin share an official sister city relationship built on exchanging culture, innovation, and spirit. That bond inspired us to bring our Italian-made loafers to Texas, introducing Austin’s tastemakers to JB Ander’s world of refined footwear.

Texas House + JB Ander

We found the perfect partner in event host, Texas House, a hub for global influence and bold ideas. Their mission mirrors our own: connecting pioneers and disruptors to share their vision, forecast the future, and celebrate fearless creativity. For a brand like JB Ander, built on reimagining timeless menswear classics, and one elevating Texas as a global powerhouse, the Austin stage feels like serendipity.
