Designed in the Netherlands and produced in Portugal, the “vegan” luxury sneakers of Mercer Amsterdam are made from a material derived from pineapple leaves, the Piñatex. The leaves come from Philippine cultivations, and thanks to this alternative use, they avoid being thrown away. The extraordinary material extracted from the leaves ensures that the sneakers have that special “wow” effect that is so in demand in luxury shoes. At the same time, the use of this material replies to the increasing demands for advanced sustainability by customers.

The model that features this innovative material is W3RD, the retro running shoe taking its cue from the Nineties, which is proposed in a new Vegan Pineapple version. The model presents an OnSteam microfiber lining, which guarantees maximum breathability, and also this is “vegan” without the use of hazardous chemical agents in its production.
