The vegan Sleek Low style is made from real recycled bubble wrap, which is not only unique in its look for every pair, but also makes the upper waterproof. The genderless sneakers are fairly produced by hand in Italy, in colab with Remeant. This is the first time this real recycled bubble wrap material is used for shoes. The lining is made from nat-2™ s signature bioceramic yarn made in Germany. The removable insole is made from real cork and the lasered outsoles from real rubber. The laces are made of recycled PET, while the matching reflecting heel part is made of billions of real glass particles.
