Description
New to the APL family. With this design we moved ahead with something that was already on the table: the high-top sneaker. We got inspired by the retro design of high top sneakers, and wanted to give it a Komrads twist. We stripped the design down for a neat and simple look: created with apple leather.
Sneakers made of apple leather.
Komrads has taken the first step towards a zero impact sneaker. It was our dream to make a comfortable and fashionable sneaker that doesn’t harm our planet. A sneaker for which no natural raw materials need to be harvested and which is entirely made of recycled and reused materials. Furthermore we can say that we are officially Peta-approved. (Peta: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Designed in Belgium, and carefully produced in Portugal (EU).
Which materials do we use to make our APL sneakers?
- Upper: eco apple leather. The apple leather is made of apple waste (peels & cores). An ecological alternative to leather.
- Sole: recycled rubber from car tyres and old sneaker soles. The rubber is strong and from outstanding quality.
- Lining & Laces: recycled cotton & plastic bottles. Recycled cotton has the potential to greatly reduce water and energy consumption in sustainable fashion and apparel, as well as reduce landfill waste and space.
- Insole: flexible recycled carbon. Carbon is a plant based substance that has absorbing properties. The insoles are breathable & anti-static.
Follow our path to zero waste!
Additional information
This sneaker is for both men and women.
APL sneakers fall exactly on the size you have, so not smaller or larger.
Style tip: Not in the mood to dress up? Wear your jogging. You have to go outside anyway? A beautiful, white sneaker makes the whole thing just a little less sleazy.
Get to know more about our apple leather.
The apple eco leather is produced in Italy using waste from the apple juice industry. Every year this industry leaves behind a significant amount of waste.
That waste (consisting of apple peels and cores) is developed into a new raw material. An ecological alternative to leather. Moreover, apple leather is a cellulose-based material with as much as 50% of recycled apple fiber. In short, it’s a durable, bio-based and high-quality alternative to leather with a low environmental impact.
