Turning waste into sneakers
GEN1 Grapes is a new approach of sneaker making. Instead of animal skin and heavy chemicals, natural and recycled 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
Study by certified agency FairlyMade shows that the production of GEN1 emits 6.89kg of CO2, which is on average -78% less compared to an equivalent animal leather sneaker.
