Hide | 100% Leather Sneakers

Today’s sneakers are constructed out of varying materials, relying on lengthy supply chains and resulting in a mixture of unrecyclable materials. Within the sneaker industry, materials and production methods should be re-examined to reveal more innovate models. HIDE questions production methods and material value by using one single material and a vision of a local supply chain. HIDE demonstrates that leather can be tanned and finished in a multitude of ways, to give it the qualities needed for all the different parts that make a sneaker. Simplifying processes and minimizing stitching makes for an easy repair and exchange of parts when needed.
