Norm 1L11-01 Sustainable Ecoantex® Recycled PET Vegan Trainer | Obsidian Blue Shoes

The 1L11-01, the first unisex sneaker designed by NORM, is the result of three years of research and development, and is created from 90% recycled materials. It’s made of a single piece upper construction with NORM Integrated Loops System [N.I.L.S ] and advanced eco-materials sourced exclusively from Europe. More than a product, it’s a holistic concept that claims the creation of new standards: eco-design, transparency and modernity.

Thanks to their knitting technology, the single piece upper construction made from 6 plastic bottles enables the reduction of material waste by 65%, and offers optimal comfort.

Materials

Norm uses Ecoantex® or Newlife® yarns to make their uppers, insoles cover, labels, ribbons, laces and for the assembly. They are made by Antex in Spain and Sinterama in Italy from 100% recycled post-consumer PET bottles.

SIZING: Norm shoes are manufactured in European sizes.

1st Norm | Sustainability

The focus is on three aspects of sustainability: recycle, reduce and reuse. NORM products are conceived to reduce their carbon footprint from the very first step, by choosing recycled materials, using cutting-edge technology ,and working with the best possible suppliers. Products are designed to last and to be recycled at the end of their lives.

2nd Norm | Transparency
Their costs, suppliers’ names, their location and their carbon footprint. Everything is shared. Nothing is hidden or modified. The more you know, the better purchasing decision you’ll be able to make.

3rd Norm | Modernity

Norm’s vision is to propose unisex, season-less, and urban sneakers that you can wear every single day.

4th Norm | Impact
They do everything in their power to reduce their impact on the environment. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to be carbon neutral. So they’ve come up with solutions to compensate for their footprint, and have started planting trees and rebuilding ecosystems.

NORM sneakers are consciously assembled in Portugal, with two trees are planted for each pair sold.
