New sneakers, built differently. Crafted with shoemaking heritage, designed with purpose, and beautiful to the eye and the touch. More than footwear, a biocircular system that turns sneakers into compost when their time is done.

SOLKs are created responsibly, using only materials that can safely return to the earth. When the right materials didn’t exist, we reinvented them. We built our own factory to control how things are made, and our own takeback and composting system to close the loop. The result: sneakers that are beautiful in their first life, and generous in their second.

From compost-capable leather to natural rubber soles, every material is carefully chosen to safely return to the earth. And when your SOLKs have had their journey, our send-back system makes sure they fade the right way into rich, living compost.
