Sustainable clothing by Komrads

Komrads is a Belgian brand founded in 2015 by Greet Goegebuer and Mark Vandevelde, dedicated to creating sustainable, vegan sneakers that honor the legacy of the original Soviet-era Czech Boot Company. Their designs are inspired by nostalgic aesthetics, utilizing recycled and eco-friendly materials such as apple leather, ocean plastic, and recycled rubber to minimize environmental impact. Manufactured in Portugal under strict European working conditions, Komrads emphasizes circular economy principles, ensuring their products are both durable and ethically produced. The brand's commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by their PETA-approved vegan certification and the introduction of the ReBirth program, which repurposes worn-out sneakers into new products, promoting a zero-waste approach.
