🌵Turning cactus into sneakers
GEN1 Cactus is a new approach of sneaker making. Instead of animal skin and heavy chemicals, natural components are used to craft sneakers that are both respectful of animal life and the environment.
🐶 Vegan Credentials
Our GEN1 are proudly accredited VEGAN by PETA. This accreditation confirms the entirely cruelty-free nature of GEN1, assuring that no animals were harmed or exploited in the making of these sneakers.
🤝 Versatility at Its Core
GEN1 is the chameleon of fashion: from casual strolls in the park to impromptu urban adventures, they seamlessly adapt to every occasion. They are the go-to choice for those who value adaptability as much as aesthetics.
🌿 Low Carbon Footprint
On average, the production of GEN1 emits 6,38kg* of CO2, which is 79%* less compared to an equivalent animal leather sneaker.
