UPCYCLED DENIM SNEAKERS
Evan and Vivace, our two denim sneakers
ME.LAND presents its two most popular models in upcycled denim. These are not high-tops: both are low-top, unisex, lace-up sneakers.
Evan is a denim sneaker with a clean, urban design. Its unisex cut is suitable for both women and men.
Vivace is a denim sneaker with a bolder style, designed for a contemporary look.
On both models, upcycled denim is combined with recycled materials made from marine plastic waste. The insoles are removable.
Denim sneakers born from your old jeans
Why produce new things when they already exist? The jeans you no longer wear are collected, sorted, and then handcrafted in Felgueiras, near Porto, to become your next pair of sneakers.
Production is limited to very small runs to avoid overproduction. Each pair is shipped in recycled cardboard packaging.
How to wear denim sneakers, for women and men?
Denim sneakers are emerging as an alternative to white sneakers. They can be worn with both casual and dressier outfits.
A casual everyday look
Raw denim jeans, a white t-shirt, and low-top denim sneakers. Or beige chinos with a light sweater. With a knit skirt or dress, women's denim sneakers add a casual touch.
A dressier outfit
Black straight-leg trousers, a white shirt, and denim sneakers to break the mold. A plain flowy dress and a jacket also work well.
The total denim look
An oversized light denim shirt, denim sneakers, and matching accessories. In summer, dark denim shorts and a loose sweatshirt.
How to care for denim sneakers?
- Waterproof the sneakers before wearing them with a textile-appropriate spray.
- Clean them regularly with a soft brush and a slightly damp cloth.
- Treat stubborn stains with mild soap or baking soda.
- Let them air dry, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
- Store them in a cool, dry place.
The removable insoles make maintenance easy.
