Trainers Ultimate Racer IV

Here is the presentation of our first upcycled models: a creative and conscious approach to reuse our leftover materials, giving them a chance to shine in a new design.

We have always made sure to source our materials responsibly: we get most of our leather from Italy and our fabrics and shoe boxes locally in Germany. In some cases, the minimum quantities are larger than our limited editions. So, it is not always possible to avoid having leftover materials. By giving new life to our fabric scraps, we want to not only reduce waste but also encourage thinking about sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion.

The ULTIMATE RACER IV combines the familiar silhouette of the RACER with the ULTIMATE outsole. This sneaker is taken to the next level thanks to high-quality materials, including smooth nappa leather, and impeccable craftsmanship. The leather lining and the patented DYNACOIL cushioning system in the midsole make the ULTIMATE RACER IV incredibly comfortable. The original KangaROOS pocket is located inside the tongue.
