Missoni ACBC Basket Sneakers 90's Stripe High Navy
BASKET
MISSONI Basket reinterprets an iconic model designed by Ottavio Missoni in the ’90s and has been revived and modernised with sustainable materials with the goal of creating the luxury sneakers with the highest percentage of ‘green’ materials on the market.
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.
BIOGUM / SOLE
BiogumTM is based on renewable raw materials and with the same quality and processability as
traditional fossil based TPUs.The polyols used in the reaction of the plastics are bio based
derived from cornstarch and are substituted to the traditional fossil based polyols. It can reach
60% bio-based levels and it’s 100% recyclable.
CORNBASE / UPPER
CornBase is a bio-based alternative to leather derived from non GMO corn starch. The
molecules extracted from corn starch are transformed with green chemistry to replace The
part that was traditionally derived from fossil materials.
REBOTILIA / 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.
