Materiali che appartengono alla terra.
Dalla cucitura alla suola.
Ogni SOLK è costruita da zero con risorse scelte non solo per le loro prestazioni nella tua vita, ma anche per il loro ritorno alla natura. Se il materiale giusto non esisteva, l'abbiamo inventato. Dalla pelle senza cromo agli aglets compostabili (puntali dei lacci), ogni scelta è intenzionale: resistente, bella e sicura. Sneaker create pensando alla fine.
La sfida
The sneaker industry has long relied on materials that perform brilliantly in the short term, but leave problems behind in the long run. Think metal eyelets for laces, plastic aglets at the tips, foams for cushioning that can only degrade into harmful micro-plastics, and synthetic rubbers for soles. They make shoes strong, lightweight, and ready to take a beating.
Don’t get us wrong: These materials are impressive in what they can do. They deliver comfort, durability, and performance at scale. But their biggest strength is also their flaw. They were never designed to return. Once they’ve done their miles, they linger for decades, sometimes centuries. That was the challenge we set out to solve: to keep all the good, the comfort, the resilience, the lightness, while removing the harm.

Colla biobased
The tips of most laces are plastic. Ours are different. Specially developed, partly biobased, and proven to compost without a trace.
Invisible, but vital. Our adhesives are carefully selected to be strong enough to allow us to use as little as possible yet hold your sneakers together through wear.
