GEN1 - Orange White & Suede

🍊 Turning waste into sneakers
GEN1 Orange is a new approach of sneaker making. Instead of animal skin and heavy chemicals, natural and recycled components are used to craft sneakers that are both respectful of animal life and the environment.

🐶 Vegan Credentials
Our GEN1 are proudly accredited VEGAN by PETA. This accreditation confirms the entirely cruelty-free nature of GEN1, assuring that no animals were harmed or exploited in the making of these sneakers.

🤝 Versatility at Its Core
GEN1 is the chameleon of fashion: from casual strolls in the park to impromptu urban adventures, they seamlessly adapt to every occasion. They are the go-to choice for those who value adaptability as much as aesthetics.

🌿 Low Carbon Footprint
Study by certified agency FairlyMade shows that the production of GEN1 emits 6.89kg of CO2, which is on average -78% less compared to an equivalent animal leather sneaker.

Orange peels and cactus leaves waste from Sicilian agriculture are transformed into a wearable material by being combined with recycled plastic.

Are MOEA sneakers as resistant as leather sneakers?
CTC agency’s resistance tests results for GrapesSkin™ are without appeal. With a Tensile Strength of over 35 N/5cm, it ensure it can handle pulling forces effortlessly and with a Tear Strength exceeding 125 N/5cm, these sneakers resist tearing, promising longevity. The Flexometries test showcases their ability to endure over 100,000 cycles of bending, ensuring flexibility in every step.

Will I be paying import taxes / duties?
No additional tax is payable for orders placed within the European Union. For the rest of the world and overseas, taxes may apply depending on customs policies. Shipments to countries outside the European Union may incur additional import, customs or customs duties that are beyond our control.

What are biomaterials?
Biomaterials are an innovative alternative to leather. They are made from a technological process that transforms plant waste into a wearable material with leather-like properties. This is a real breakthrough because biomaterials have a much lower environmental impact than leather and are of course cruelty-free.

Why are biomaterials better for the planet?
According to Sami agency, our bio-based materials are on average 89% less polluting (89% less carbon) than leather. Furthermore, we only use materials that are PETA vegan approved, which means no animals were armed in the development and production process.
