Lisbon sneaker startup launches vegan sneakers using upcycled party balloons

Undo for Tomorrow, a shoe manufacturer located in Lisbon, has recently launched its vegan-friendly Nuven shoes, which are created from repurposed party balloons and rubber vehicle tire debris. The firm is using a crowdfunding approach to make their sustainable casual sneakers available, ensuring that they only produce enough to fulfill demand and minimize overproduction and waste.

Nuvens are the "next favorite" in the casual shoe industry, having exceptionally lightweight and comfortable attributes while being a responsible choice for concerned customers.

Undo for Tomorrow, rather than using new materials, upcycles existing trash – such as non-recyclable garbage from bursting party balloons or rubber tire leftovers – to make their multicolored sole. 

Natural materials such as 100% bamboo for the lining, sustainably sourced rubber on the toe-caps, castor oil for the insoles, and recycled plastic to form a vegan suede substitute for the outer shell are used in the gender-neutral shoe. Nuvens are vegan-friendly since they are made without using any animals.
