The nat-2 Reduceusecycle Line gives new life to discarded plastic materials and offers sustainable styles like the Sleek Low bubble wrap sneaker. The new style from the vegan shoe brand is genuinely made with recycled bubble wrap and it was created thanks to the brand's work with Israeli textile innovator Remeant. Remeant is a material that's made from single-use plastic and it creates quality footwear that's lightweight yet durable, waterproof and easy to clean.
The shoes are made with what the brand calls 100% bubble wrap leather and thanks to the properties of Remeant, the fabric retains its original appearance and color without creasing.
Aside from the striking outer design of the shoe, the plant-based footwear design also includes comfortable features like a real removable cork insole.
