Our Sneakers are developed from the beginning to reduce their impact to the maximum. From the first drawing to the delivery, everything is taken into account.

For the Upper, we used seaqual yarns, a unique collaborative community that works with ocean clean-up programs around the world to transform the marine litter they recover into SEAQUAL® MARINE PLASTIC; a new, fully traceable raw material with the power to raise awareness of the issue of marine pollution and highlight those helping to fight it.

But we don't stop there. We use the same principles for every components and processes we use, making sure we have the best quality, produced ethically with the lowest impact.

  • ANTEX - YARNS

HOW WE CALCULATE

Based on existing studies, we evaluate the impact of every single components and raw materials we use. We add to that the traveling distance that each one of them have to do until the final products are delivered to our warehouse. Finally we taken into account the production and a factor for the end of life of our products.

We don't have a solution yet to give a second, third or fourth life to our products but we're working on it and it will come in the near future.

CLIMATE POSITIVE

The impact for one pair of Norm is only 6,5 kg of CO2 equivalent. This is 80% lower than the industry average. But the emissions of our 1L11-01 are compensated by planting two trees for each pair, which means they are in reality negative (each tree compensate 100kg of CO2 eq. during it's lifetime)
