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
