Carl Hi Cut Bleached Sand | Pewter Grey

Carl is a comfortable, durable, 80s-inspired high-top sneaker with a wide range of models covering everything from retro to modern. The upper is made from GRS-certified recycled PU leather, specially developed by ethletic for later use in the Circular Economy, and is also characterized by its high wearing comfort and a memory effect that almost always guarantees a perfect fit.

The upper is made of a high-quality leather substitute with a particularly soft feel, high wearing comfort, and natural look. The material is durable, water-repellent, and GRS certified, meaning it consists of 100% recycled components, which in turn are recyclable. Additionally, the leather substitute has been re-tested by ethletic for critical elements and ingredients.

For particularly high durability, the natural rubber sole is processed with a slightly thicker seam than is usual with conventional manufacturers. The natural product can be regranulated and thus reused for the production of new soles.

All other materials such as laces, labels, and threads are Oeko-Tex certified and can be recycled at the end of their lifecycle.
