The URBAN OUTDOOR SNEAKER

We have once again teamed up with the renowned Slovakian shoe manufacturer Novesta to create a water-repellent and breathable handmade urban outdoor sneaker made from a water-repellent fabric that, for the first time, combines our cotton fiber expertise with a new, so-called paper fiber technology to achieve even greater abrasion resistance.
JECKYBENG hopes that this development will provide further knowledge about alternative natural resources, so that in the future it may even be able to develop yarns from waste paper. All cellulose products used are also FSC.

We are particularly proud that, together with Novesta, we have succeeded in sourcing all of our natural rubber from FSC-certified sources.

The sole of the URBAN OUTDOOR SNEAKER is made of 100% FSC-certified natural rubber, thus avoiding the unnecessary abrasion of microplastic particles. According to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Environment and Safety from 2018, the abrasion of shoe soles ranks seventh in terms of annual per capita emissions of microplastics - the abrasion of car tires remains the undisputed number one.


NOVESTA is committed to producing shoes according to the highest environmental standards. That is why they use natural rubber and 100% cotton and linen. These materials allow them to produce ecological shoes of the highest quality.

The natural rubber sole is pressed onto the shoe body by machine. The shoe is then finished with precision by skilled craftsmen. This ethnic and ecological process results in tire marks around the outsole - Novesta's trademark!
