Certifications:
A white trainer that does the everyday job without leather. The upper is Cornwaste, a vegan leather made from corn waste, so you get the clean, minimal look of a classic white sneaker built from an agricultural by-product.
What is in it:
- Upper: Cornwaste vegan leather made from corn waste
- Insole: recycled EVA foam
- Sole: cork from sustainable production, with at least 40% natural rubber (unbleached) from Vietnam
- Lining: Abacá banana canvas and recycled cotton
- Laces: recycled PET plastic bottles
- Seams: recycled PET plastic bottles
The detail we like most is that the recycled thinking runs all the way through. It is not just the upper. The thread holding it together, the laces you tie every morning and the insole under your foot all use recycled material, so every choice adds up.
Who it is for: this is a unisex style, available in EURO sizes 37 to 46 (UK 4.5 to 11). Women's and men's sizing both sit in the same range, so check the size guide on the page and choose your usual EURO size.
Why Komodo: the brand, founded in 1988, works with eco-fibres and recycled PET from plastic bottles, and states that most of its products are vegan. This trainer is part of that approach.
About Komodo
Komodo has spent over three decades proving that sustainable fashion does not have to be a compromise between style and conscience. Founded in 1988, the brand set out to show that contemporary clothing design and genuine environmental responsibility are not mutually exclusive, a challenge they continue to meet with each collection.
What distinguishes Komodo in practice is their material choices. Rather than relying on conventional fabrics, they work with organic and natural eco-fibres, incorporate green PU coating, and use recycled PET derived from plastic bottles. The majority of their products are vegan, and all are produced without cruelty, commitments that go beyond labelling and into the fabric of how each garment is made.
Komodo has also taken the deliberate step of eliminating single-use plastics from their supply chain entirely. This is not a target or an aspiration; it is already done. For a fashion brand operating since the late 1980s, that level of supply chain discipline reflects a consistency of values that is rare in an industry still catching up to where Komodo started.
