Carl Hi Cut Chalk White | True Blood

Carl is a comfortable, durable, 80s-inspired high-top sneaker with diverse variations that cover a wide spectrum from retro to modern. The upper material is made from GRS-certified recycled PU leather, specially developed by ethletic for future use in the Circular Economy. It also stands out for its high wearing comfort and a memory effect that almost always guarantees a perfect fit.

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

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

All other materials such as laces, labels, and yarns are Ökotex certified and can be recycled after their life cycle.
