OCNS Slip-ons: Style and sustainability have never been a better match!

Did you know every year 12 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans?
Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year for use in a wide variety of applications. At least 12 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year, and make up 80% of all marine debris from surface waters to deep-sea sediments.
Plastic pollution threatens food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.

Komrads wants to tackle this problem: that’s why we introduce our brand new SLIP-ON OCNS [oceans] collection.
Sneakers made from ocean plastic.

Made of recycled and reused materials:

• Sole: made from 90% recycled rubber and 10% recycled sneakers
• Upper & lining: 100% recycled ocean waste plastics from Seaqual Yarn
• Laces: recycled cotton & plastic bottles
• Inside: recycled cotton
• Built to recycle again!
• Designed in Belgium, produced with love in Portugal

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!
