“Shoes and the materials which are being used in footwear manufacturing have a detrimental effect to the environment. We were two brothers in our 20s when we inherited a footwear factory. We have manufactured sneakers for some of the most famous high – end brands in the world. We have seen the industry from the inside and we realised that both the industry and the consumers are oblivious to the environmental damage caused by the footwear industry. This realisation has sent us on a 6 year journey to develop a more sustainable alternative.”
