Hybrid
Shoes made out of scrap materials
«Hybrid» presents an eco-responsible manufacturing method for producing shoes. Each part of the shoes are made out of waste materials from the production of other models. For example, The upper use weaving techniques to create a mesh from leather and textile scraps. The traditional assembly and stitching techniques are reinterpreted to work directly with the sole and do not use any glue. The soles are made with old one, mixed and recomposed in a mould. In the end, these prototypes are hybrids between traditional leather shoes and sneakers.
