Komrads is a sneaker brand that is consciously engaged in sustainable and fair production. The trainers are produced in Portugal and the materials come from Italy and Portugal. They visit the workshops twice a year and have close contact with the contact person in Portugal, who keeps them well informed about the business and the possibilities. The shoe is made from the residue of the apple juice industry, the final product is called apple leather. This is a fairly new process in which constant innovative research leads to improvement of the product. The other materials are recycled rubber (sole), recycled plastic (laces) and recycled cotton (laces, lining). The trainers are 100% vegan!
