Composition: 100% Polyester
This collection has been designed and
manufactured in collaboration with ACBC
certified B Corporation.
B Corporation is the certification for the
highest standards of verified social and
environmental performance.
Our aim was to create sneakers with lower
impact on the environment using up-cycled
yarns and fabrics from Missoni dead stock,
post consumer recycled fibres and
renewable materials derived natural
biological sources.
RE-RUBBER / GRIP PODS
ReRubber reduces the need of virgin fossil materials by blending recycled Rubber
scraps from used shoes and car tyres with virgin rubber maintaining
performance and durability.
ALGAFOAM / MIDSOLE
AlgaFoam is the most sustainable performance foam in the world. Flexible and lightweight, it’s
derived from algae biomass in a process that cleans and restores balance to endangered waterways.
Each pair of soles clears in average 55 litres of water.
REBOTILIA / UPPER & LINING
Rebotilia is derived from recycled PET bottles. Using recycled polyester means saving
a great amount of CO2 compared to using virgin material and reduces the problem of
plastic in landfills and oceans.
Tied to the aesthetic innovation and technical invention that have always changed the identity of knitwear, Missoni is one of the best known, loved and recognised fashion and design brands in the world.
Missoni style is the result of a partnership between Ottavio and Rosita who decided, in 1953, to set up a knitwear business, and were soon at the cutting edge of Italian fashion. The couple started a family and their children Vittorio, Luca and Angela, the brand’s creative director since 1996, grew up in direct contact with their parents’ work.
Closely involved with the business, they took on increasingly responsible roles, becoming co-creators in a project that continues to seduce and excite today. Missoni is now one of the best representatives of Italian fashion and design excellence around the world. With its pioneering multicoloured aesthetic vision, it continues to influence the contemporary lifestyle, thanks also to the success of the Missoni Home line.
