Indosole SS22 is a collection that consciously recycles sneakers and turns usable materials that are already in circulation into other kinds of footwear, such as flip-flops and slippers. The designs sport stylish soles in gray, red and orange and they help to reduce the need for usable sneakers to go to waste in the landfill or be burned.
The Indosole SS22 LOST SOLE collection uses the SETT (Sole Engineered Tire Technology) and materials collected from previous sneaker collections of major footwear manufacturers. The process of repurposing these materials borrows from the way that the brand pulverizes tires to create entirely new designs and minimize waste. Now, customers have the chance to make every step they take a sustainable one.
