Production

Our sneakers are manufactured in selected production facilities in Portugal and Asia. Part of our production takes place in the Chinese province of Fujian, in a factory that operates according to international and European social standards.

Employees work under fair conditions: there is a five-day work week, every hour worked is paid, and women receive the same pay as men. The factory is a member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), an international system that monitors and improves social standards within global supply chains.

Production is intentionally kept at a smaller scale, with around 500 pairs of shoes produced per day. This relatively low output allows for careful manufacturing and ensures a high level of product quality.

Transport

While part of our sneakers are produced in Europe, others are manufactured in Asia. For transportation to Germany, we deliberately rely on rail transport instead of container ships.

The shoes are transported from the Chinese city of Chengdu along an approximately 11,000-kilometer railway route to Europe and finally arrive at the port of Duisburg, just a few kilometers from our warehouse.

This route is part of the so-called New Silk Road, connecting Europe and Asia by land. Transport by train produces significantly fewer emissions than transport by large container ships, which often use heavy fuel oil and contribute substantially to air pollution.

By choosing this transport route, we aim to reduce the environmental impact of our supply chain as much as possible.
