With its chic retro design, this sneaker not only causes a stir visually, its inner values are also impressive across the board. Genesis uses a mesh fabric made from recycled polyester and a leather alternative made from recycled polyamide, polyurethane and corn waste for the vegan upper. The lining is made from viscose and recycled polyester, while the insole is made from recycled polyurethane, polyester and cork. Thanks to the sophisticated combination of materials and workmanship, the shoe is particularly airy and also a real lightweight. The insole is removable and can be replaced with your own insoles if required. The shock-absorbing, studded outsole made of rubber and natural rubber offers a high level of comfort every step of the way and good grip on almost any surface. In short: a comfortable sneaker that will keep you light on your feet for longer distances.

Genesis Footwear is a sneaker label that focuses on fair working conditions and the thoughtful use of natural resources without compromising on design. That's why Genesis sneakers are made almost entirely from recycled and innovative materials. Although production is around five to seven times more expensive than the big players in the sneaker industry due to the complex production process and good working conditions, the final price is still no higher. This is possible because Genesis deliberately avoids traditional advertising and marketing, which accounts for around 70 percent of the price of the big brands. The declared aim is to be competitive with a fair sales price. Last but not least, Genesis Footwear donates a portion of its profits to organizations dedicated to the well-being of the oceans, such as One Earth - One Ocean, the Surfrider Foundation and Sea Shepherd.

The slippers run rather small: We recommend choosing a size one size larger than your usual size.
