GRAPE LEATHER-ALTERNATIVE TRAINERS

Inspired by the retro lines of classic trainers, these unisex vegan sneakers combine style with ethical commitment. Their simple, elegant design works with every look, from casual to more statement-making styles.

• Eco-responsible vegan materials: grape-based leather alternative
• Quality & comfort guaranteed: Strobel construction, glued and stitched sole, soft lining - everything is designed to provide flexibility, durability, and long-lasting comfort.
• Artisanal craftsmanship: each pair is assembled by hand in a family-run Portuguese workshop, with meticulous attention paid to detail and finishing.

This pair will be shipped by the brand Zèta (Home delivery, €6.90)

• Outer : grape-based plant material made from waste from wine production
• Inner lining: mesh made from plastic bottles collected from the Mediterranean (100%)
• Laces : recycled plastic (100%)
• Removable insole : recycled foam (100%)
• Outer sole: recycled synthetic rubber (70%)

Each pair of Zèta vegan trainers emits 6kg of CO2, compared with 15kg for a classic pair of trainers.

Zèta carried out a life cycle assessment of its shoes, notably using ADEME's tool, to understand their impact and reduce it as much as possible.

This analysis takes into account the manufacturing and processing of raw materials, the production of the shoes, their transport from Portugal to France, their use over a 3-year period, and end-of-life recycling.
