VEGAN & ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS

In our commitment to crafting premium sneakers, we seamlessly blend two innovative materials, Desserto and Ultrasuede, to define the essence of our handcrafted builds.

Desserto, sourced from the resilient nopal cactus, brings a luxurious and sustainable touch, offering a cruelty-free alternative with a premium feel. Complementing this, Ultrasuede lends its soft, durable, and versatile qualities, ensuring our sneakers not only captivate with unique textures but also stand the test of time.

By fusing Desserto and Ultrasuede in our designs, we create a harmonious synthesis of style, comfort, and conscientious craftsmanship, reinforcing our commitment to both exceptional footwear and environmentally responsible practices.
