nat-2™ Aluminum Line

In Bavaria we say “Lebakassemmiverpackung” = Leberkäs-Semmel-Verpackung ;-) (which is equivalent to the wrap of the beloved and famous traditional bavarian leftover meat sandwich)

The unisex vegan nat-2™ Sleek Alchemist sneaker is made from recycled post consumer aluminum foil in coop with israeli start-up Remeant. The nat-2™ Sleek Alchemist was designed by 6th generation footwear designer Sebastian Thies using german engineered ingredients such as the brands signature bioceramic lining and is produced under fair conditions in a small family production in Italy. The heel and tongue feature a smooth reflective glass surface [ 3M ® ]. The shoe also features a real cork removable insole.

The sneaker is part of the nat-2™ Reduceusecycle Line which has the goal find new, never used before materials for re- and upcycling and pushing for new takes and views on circular product design solving exisiting issues and giving inspiration to re-think the way we consume.
Is it really okay to use aluminum foil for mostly unneccassary uses like a sandwich wrap that lasts an hour if we recycle it afterwards again? Or would it be better to wrap your lunch in a paper bag and use other natural materials for your footwear? But, while there are tons of aluminum waste every day, shouldn’t we recycle it to new purposes and establish new aesthetics in fashion!?
