“Upcycling is a philosophy and a design principle that includes 'recycling' but goes beyond this system by taking a 'whole system' approach to the vast flow of resources and waste through human society. It redesigns the current, one-way linear industrial system into a circular economy, and it is modeled on nature's successful strategies​.” The New Denim Project.

Arianna & Joanna, the two badass Guatemalan sisters behind The New Denim Project, create the premium natural fabric we use in our sneakers from the waste of various textile mills. Their innovative eco-industrial manufacturing system is chemical and dye-free, uses minimal water, and keeps energy and carbon emissions to a minimum ensuring an endless life cycle. 

Sneaker recycling is yet to make an impact within the footwear industry. So much so, that demanding and short-term trendsetting styles are still the fast-paced tenets by which our current fashion business models are sadly guided by. In fact, the industry is still so wasteful that a consumer today owns 300% more pieces of clothing than a generation ago, and wears a garment only seven times before getting rid of it, which usually end up in massive landfills.
