TREAD-BARE SNEAKER
TREAD BARE SNEAKER - 2023
Everlane’s Lightest Sneaker Yet. Made using recycled cotton canvas for the upper & lining, and 100% natural rubber milk from Hevea trees for the outsole - it’s only 4.78 kg CO₂e (compared to standard sneakers generally at 7.6-12.5 kg CO₂e)
Not only light on impact - this sneaker was also designed to be very deconstructed and lightweight. So flexible, it moves with you.
More sustainable material choices were made for every detail.
Undyed version represents the purest form of all the natural materials.
Recycled craft paper shoebox.
