Vegan shoes:
Finding good substitutes for leather



Together with CASE STUDIES, a studio specialised in knitting, we created our first leather-free knitted shoe. At the same time, we made our first Zori-Slippers with textiles and cork as substitutes for the leather parts.



"CASE STUDIES is a Berlin-based textile studio focused on engineered knits, specialised in sophisticated Jacquard techniques. Through an intense process of research and color analysis the studio creates a world of fluent gradients and a fascinating interplay between material and color”
 



In cooperation with CASE STUDIES, we created simple, ankle-high sock boots with the Berlin label’s typical colour gradients, which combine perfectly with our sporty Swan sole. Made from almost 100% viscose, the elastic knitted fabric clings ergonomically to the foot, ensuring a pleasant foot climate even in hot weather.
In this collaboration we also developed a slip-on on our closed-sole.
