Carl Hi Cut Jet Black | Jet Black

Carl is a comfortable, durable, 80s-inspired high-top sneaker with a wide range of models, from retro to modern. The upper is made of GRS-certified recycled PU leather, specially developed by ethletic for later use in the Circular Economy. It 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 alternative 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 that are, in turn, recyclable. Additionally, the leather alternative was tested again by ethletic for critical elements and ingredients.

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

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