Art
nat-2™ is not only a brand but also an art project.
we are not striving for sales in every object we create. we take the freedom to experiment, do research, develop and dream. simply out of passion and the need to open our minds and learn.
below you find some examples of our art, which has already been shown in international renown galleries and museums.

nat-2™ Rust Sneakers by Sebastian Thies upcycled worn shoes upgraded with real rusted leather and moss. Crafted by hand.
High-End Upcycling.
The nat-2™ Sleek is produced under fair conditions in a small family production in Italy
and customized in Bavaria’s Munich. The style is a unique timless classic mostly in clean
white only with a changing back heel. This version is customized by hand and covered
with real liquid iron. Afterwards it gets an oxidation treatment and real rust occurs to
stay. A 100% authentic vintage look and feel comes to live. Then the sneaker gets a moss
treatment for the ultimate look. Each pair is unique. The used italian nappa leather is the
finest and smoothest available. The shoe also features a real cork removable insole. The
back heel part is highly reflective depending on the light angle. While wearing the shoe
will further transform and develop its very own patina. The customization process is
made by hand and takes about 12 working hours. Handmade in Italy | Customized in
Germany
