Single-Material Footwear Styles

The 'HODEI' Shoe Has a Modern Yet Recyclable Construction

— March 9, 2021 — Eco
Many of the footwear styles on the market are made from a range of materials, which is something the 'HODEI' shoe is designed to change with its mono-material construction. The shoe maintains a one-piece design that is completely recyclable thanks to the EVA foam construction and thus doesn't sacrifice fashion over the environment. The shoe can also be paired with a series of accoutrements to further customize it that can be swapped out when required or removed when it's time to dispose of everything.

The 'HODEI' shoe is the design work of Benjamin Camy and are inspired by the sustainable water cycle model to make them a footwear style that wearers will feel good about adding to their wardrobe. The ultra-modern construction also makes them perfect for pairing with your choice of outfit.
