Turning waste into sneakers
GEN4 Banana stalks is a new approach of sneaker making. Instead of animal skin and heavy chemicals, natural and recycled components are used to craft sneakers that are both respectful of animal life and the environment.
Vegan Credentials
Our GEN4 are proudly accredited VEGAN by PETA. This accreditation confirms the entirely cruelty-free nature of GEN4, assuring that no animals were harmed or exploited in the making of these sneakers.
Wearable for every occasion
Our GEN4 is an urban essential. With its casual design, these sneakers are easy to wear with all types of outfits and in all seasons thanks to its breathable, water-resistant fabric.
Low Carbon Footprint
Study by certified agency FairlyMade shows that the production of GEN4 emits 9,13kg of CO2, which is on average -71% less compared to an equivalent animal leather sneaker.
