Desserto Ⓡ
In an effort to offer the most ecological pair of sneakers, we have been working tirelessly to develop a vegan and sustainable material that is as surprising as it is innovative. In collaboration with DESSERTO Ⓡ, the 2020 Green Product Award winners, we have created the very first sneaker made of Cactus.
Organic-based, this material stands out for its low ecological footprint, softness, and durability. Made in Mexico, in the State of Zacatecas, from the mature leaves of the plant without damaging the cactus.
Uppeal™
Uppeal™ is a sustainable material made in Italy with the apple waste from the juice industry. This innovative material is created by combining apple waste with synthetic material, which cuts the consumption of PU (polyurethane) by 50%.
Uppeal™ is manufactured at MABEL's factory near Florence, in Campi Bisenzio. This material is highly durable, breathable, waterproof, and resistant to abrasion and flexometries.
