Tsuga Soil

Understated cool. Future materials.

Flat proportions, reduced lines and minimal branding give the Tsuga its calm and understated presence. The silhouette recalls indoor training shoes from past decades, translating their stripped-back sports aesthetic into a new generation of materials.

At the center is Soil, an innovative bio-based material developed from mushrooms, natural rubber and viscose fibers. The material is biodegradable, vegan and 100% bio-based. Its natural surface gives the Tsuga a futuristic material aesthetic with a deliberately understated character.

The flexible construction, recycled materials and cushioned insole provide a direct feel and lasting comfort throughout the day.

Low profile. Future materials. PETA-approved vegan.

Note: Slightly narrower fit.
