German sneaker retailer AFEW introduces a new tonal iteration of the Yamasura sneaker model for the season with the Dawn colorway. The shoe made its debut last year with the Soil colorway and most notably, it is made entirely with 100% vegan materials.
The sustainable shoe celebrates the look of a warm sunrise this time around, which is referenced in the Dawn namesake. In terms of construction, the shoe is made from vegan corn waste leather and paired with mesh to add a touch of breathability. It all rests on top of a sole that is made from BLOOM Algae EVA, which is all-natural rubber. The shoes were designed in Germany and made by hand in Portugal.
