ekn Bamboo Runner (Grey)

ATTENTION: These shoes turned out to be larger than usual sizes - for your regular fit, take a size smaller!

With the Bamboo, ekn Footwear's main designer Daniel Bailey created a flamboyant running shoe with a unique look. While these ekn sneakers are real comfortable, thanks to the socks-inspired, tongue-less construction, the lacing at heel adds an eye-catching detail. Plus, the laces could also be corded at the side panels to create a completely different look. As you know, ekn Footwear is a company that places value on fair trade and sustainability. To reinforce this positive attitude, the ekn Bamboo runners are handmade in Portugal, the materials include vegetable and chrome-free tanned leathers as well as recycled fabrics, while the boxes are also made from recycled goods. In this day and age, it’s really important to support companies like ekn Footwear to take a stand.
