We strive to craft sneakers that are beautiful inside and out, that look and feel good without sacrificing the health of workers or the planet.

As part of our commitment to environmentally conscious design principles, we choose sustainable, recycled, recyclable and cruelty-free materials whenever possible.

Since our innovative knit upper is made with just one simple layer, we require fewer processes and materials to make our shoes, which in turn puts less pressure on our soil, resources and planet.

In each pair of Fullup. sneakers, you’ll find:

Recycled PET: We make our single-layer knit upper from certified rPET. Our manufacturing partner creates this innovative textile by collecting discarded plastic water bottles, melting them down, and transforming the pellets into yarn. The result is a soft and highly versatile fabric that stands the test of time and requires substantially fewer carbon emissions than virgin plastic.

TPU: Designing shoes that are made to last is part of our mission. The more durable our shoes are, the longer you can wear them and the fewer shoes end up in landfills. That’s why we chose innovative foaming TPU for our patented FullupLite 360 soles. This extremely dense, anti-slip material can stand the test of time and be recycled, so we can later fulfill our circularity goals with a recycling or upcycling program.

Water-based glue: To connect the upper to the sole, we use only water-based glues. An environmentally friendly formulation, water-based glue contains no volatile organic compounds, meaning it does not harm people or the environment.
