Tactile handcrafted sneaker, constructed of upcycled sneaker components in a collaged pattern that is unique to each pair.

The Palimpsest Sneaker takes references from classic indoor and terrace silhouettes, purposefully crafting an easy everyday sneaker where the rich texture and playful design details narrate each pair’s one of a kind story. The sole takes inspiration from our signature split-sole design, with subtle twists such as wonky, mismatched branding on the back heel and spliced logos on the outsole, created from a blend of factory and rubber waste.

All upcycled sneaker materials sourced in the UK from Traid, Royal Trinity Hospice and Salvation Army.

Designed in London, Made in Portugual.

Materials:

Upper: Collaged Recycled Sneaker Leather and Suede
Lining: Leather
Sole: 100% Recycled TR, 30% Recycled Rubber

Each pair of sneakers is 1 of 1 due to the nature of our collaged leather, the pairs pictured are an example of the product and not an exact replica of your pair, your collaged leather will be unique to you. 

Our Unisex sizes are closest to Standard UK Men’s sizing. For women’s sizing, we advise going one size down. SIZE GUIDE
