Ein 8SYC Sneaker ist ein echtes Unikat, da die Segel unterschiedlichste Geschichten erlebt haben. Ein Paar gleicht nicht ganz dem anderen und das macht Ihre DNA aus.

Wir machen Schuhe aus alten segeln um die Sneakerwelt ein wenig nachhaltiger zu gestalten. Dabei kombinieren wir natürliche Materialien mit Segeltuch. Wir kreieren urbane Sneaker für den Alltag.

Canvas is extremely durable and tear-resistant. To keep it supple, it just needs to be worn, over and over again. If your shoe is heavily soiled, you can clean it with a standard eraser sponge without much water. The sailcloth also tolerates a commercially available eco-impregnation, eg from Colonil. We generally do without additional impregnations.

The sole can be washed with water and soapy water. If the sole is made of natural rubber, a natural material, the color can change due to environmental influences such as salt water.

We attach great importance to the materials that come into direct contact with the foot. That's why we use particularly skin-friendly leather for the inner lining. Our OAK leather comes from Portugal, is tanned chrome-free and left natural. This low-emission production minimizes the formation of allergens. The leather is extremely soft, has an antiperspirant and antifungal effect. Since our eco-leather is not impregnated with harmful PFC, you should not expose your shoe to extreme moisture conditions. The shoes don't belong in the washing machine either. The high-quality leather could discolor and unnecessary abrasion is also generated, which gets directly into our water. Long-term care includes wearing the shoe for just one day and then changing it. In this way, the shoe can release the moisture stored by wearing it. This also avoids discoloration.
