As their name suggests, the 'Real Stone Sneakers' were made with the heavy material, marking a first for the shoe industry. Two German brands, Roxxlyn and Nat-2, joined forces to make this engineering and design feat possible. Using state-of-the-art technology, the companies devised a way to incorporate stone in a daring sneaker design. The result is a stylish shoe for men and women that's both soft, durable and flexible.
The luxurious sneakers represent the imagination of the fashion sector, as the experimental design showcases "that nature provides true natural resources for the way into the future." The shoes are available in high-, mid- and low-top iterations, providing a diverse collection with something for everyone.
