KOKOLU, a series B corporation company releases its first sustainable sneaker made from innovative and sustainable 3D knitting technology and GreenKSole® making it a super lightweight and durable sneaker. These sneakers made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic provide comfort for all day wear.
Made from waterless and eco-friendly dye technology, these sneakers are helping take steps towards a low-carbon footprint. Working with one of the most innovative manufacturing partners in the industry, KOKOLU’s recycled PET Fiber is made out of post-consumer recycled plastic sourced from Eastern China.

By recycling and reusing these plastic bottles, it reduces oil consumption by 6 tons and reduces dioxide emission by 32 tons, thereby lowering the total carbon footprint.
