Sustainability

Great design and sustainable materials shouldn't be a trade-off. That's why everything we make, from footwear to apparel, is built on plant-based, recycled, and organic content wherever possible.

Our Re-Run line pushes this further, using innovative materials like pineapple, cactus, and grape leather, alongside recycled PU and recycled suede.

When we do use real leather, we source only from suppliers who meet the highest industry standards. Why? Because sustainability is nuanced and biodegradable, responsibly sourced leather has a place in that story.

Recycled Suede

All the softness of traditional suede, none of the waste. Our recycled suede is crafted from reclaimed fibers, with the same luxurious look and feel, and a lot less impact.

Recycled Leather

Nothing goes to waste. During the shoemaking process, offcuts and leftover pieces of leather are collected, pressed back together, and turned into a new material.

Recycled PU

Recycled PU is a versatile synthetic: durable, flexible, and resilient, with a smooth or textured finish. All the performance, with a smaller footprint.

Mesh

Our mesh is made from 100% recycled polyester. It comes in several variations depending on how the fibers are woven, which changes breathability, stretch, and structure from one style to the next.

Built from the ground up

We don't just think about what a shoe looks like. We think about every layer, every component, every material. From the recycled mesh upper to the sugarcane and bamboo midsole, every part has a reason to be there. No detail too small, no material chosen by accident.

87.000.000 pairs of shoes hit landfill every year

We think that's worth doing something about. Bring your old footwear to our Amsterdam clubhouse, and we'll take care of the recycling — and take 8.7% off your next pair as a thank you.

Because every pair that doesn't end up in landfill counts.
