Sustainability Meets Innovation

Aware isn’t just another sneaker—it’s a conscious choice. 100% vegan, plastic-free, and 98% vegetable-based, this shoe is designed with minimal environmental impact in mind. Unlike synthetic leather alternatives that rely on petroleum-based ingredients, Aware sneakers embrace the durability and character of time-tested, natural materials.

We looked to the past for inspiration, discovering Belgian linen mailbags from the 1960s, military tarps, and worn denim—textiles with history, now given a second life. These sturdy materials, paired with an innovative three-layer natural rubber sole, create a sneaker that’s comfortable, supportive, and nearly biodegradable at the end of its life cycle.
