The Halo, which is handcrafted in Europe, is a modern spin on the classic court sneaker. The biodegradable sole is created in partnership with Balena, a material science company that focuses on biodegradable and recyclable biopolymers; this part of the shoe showcases Balena\u2019s BioCer Flex Technology. Both compostable and recyclable, the sole is designed to maximize impact absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offered in black and white options, the Halo sneaker features a vegan alternative to leather, which remains durable while reducing environmental impact. The black iteration features 42 percent grape skin leather, stalks and seeds. The white option is crafted from bio-based vegan leather.<\/p>\n\n\n
