ANDREAS MAANLI a multidisciplinary faun
For each of its projects, ME.LAND collaborates with artists from the French art scene. And the VIVACE project, a 100% vegan and 100% recycled sneaker, is no exception.
We asked dancer Andreas Maanli to be the face of the vegan collection. There was no question of erasing or appropriating his personality. He posed with his own vision to defend the values of our project.

Andreas began dancing in Mayotte, where he was born. Arriving in France in 2010, he followed a choreographic path between Brittany and Paris. He danced in turn for Stromae, Mika or Lenni-Kim.
He collaborated with Faizal Zeghoudi's company and performed as the Faun in Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, in the Nijinsky master class. He was once the God of Dance. Today, Andreas defends his new project on music and participates in hip-hop dance battles.
Change the world, make it more responsible for the planet, take care of our biodiversity. These are the values that our VIVACE project is committed to defending.
For over a year, we have been working with our Portuguese artisans and the SEAQUAL and PETA labels to offer our VIVACE sneakers made from marine plastic waste and rubber scraps, without any trace of animal material, even in the glue.
We wanted them to be unisex, beautiful, elegant, urban, timeless, durable and comfortable. Andreas proudly wears our sneaker with superpowers.
