Carl Hi Cut Ocean Blue | Bracken Brown

Carl is a comfortable, durable, and 80s-inspired high-top sneaker with diverse model variations, covering a wide spectrum 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, and also distinguished 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 once again 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 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 threads are Oeko-Tex certified and can be recycled after their life cycle.
