What if we told you that recycled denim can also become yarn? Speaking of fashion sustainability, jeans are the Achilles' heel: denim absorbs up to 35% of the world's cotton production. Adding to that, you have the dyeing and finishing stages, which usually involve an important use of chemicals. At Sneaknit, we give new life to old jeans, transforming them from unused garments into valuable resources. After being collected, these jeans are cut, freed from buttons and zips and reduced to fibres through a mechanical, non-chemical process. The recycled fibres are then fed back into the production cycle to be converted into new yarn - this is where the second life of these fabrics begins! The distinctive touch? The colouring: we do not subject the fibres to further dyeing, but preserve the original shades of the jeans, resulting in authentic and unique tones. With this yarn, we can make uppers, bags and many other accessories to combine style and sustainability. Do you want tp find out more about the characteristics of this yarn?

Insoles… what’s better than our new Filling Injection technology? This advanced methodology makes it possible to insert targeted padding into areas of the shoe that require extra support, opening up new customization possibilities for both uppers and insoles. Filling Injection brings a tangible benefit to shoe insoles, especially when it comes to specific needs for medical footwear. The technology makes it possible to create customised insoles that offer functional support for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat foot, hallux valgus and hollow foot. The ability to adapt the shoe structure to the unique characteristics of each foot makes this methodology ideal for the medical sector. This technology anyway is not just limited to technical shoes: casual items and high heels can also benefit from Filling Injection. This technology allows the padding to be adapted to specific pressure points, making the heels much more comfortable even over long hours of use. If you are interested in discovering how Filling Injection can also make a difference to your footwear, please contact us. #sustainability #productivity #sport #motivation #job #future #insoles

Digital Print or Jacquard? Recently, a client asked us an opinion on which process to use for their use case. Here’s what we suggested. The point is that although the pattern is identical, the end result changes dramatically depending on the technique used, offering two completely different visual and tactile experiences. With Digital Print technology we can print detailed degradé gradient effect graphics directly onto the upper. Thanks to advanced software and high-quality machinery, every detail and color comes to life with exceptional precision, ideal for those seeking a modern, dynamic aesthetic. Jacquard processing, on the other hand, weaves the pattern directly into the weft, giving the fabric a natural and sophisticated texture, perfect for those who appreciate relief and craftsmanship in details. The technique weaves threads of different colors, creating a complex and fascinating interplay of warps and wefts. As the customer wanted a more modern and dynamic effect, we decided to choose the Digital Print technology. However, both options allow for great personalization and enhancement of the design, each with its own distinctive character. And you, which do you prefer? #sustainability #productivity #sport #motivation #job #future

Aesthetically pleasing details on sports shoes are not there only for that purpose…. they are important reinforcements. At Sneaknit, we can produce them with advanced techniques that ensure the foot wellbeing. In the areas most prone to stress, such as the shoe toe, lacing and spur, high-frequency reinforcements offer an extra layer of resistance, making shoes more durable and functional. Uppers with these features are particularly useful in sports, but also in medical and orthopedic footwear. These uppers can provide greater protection during physical activity, preventing damage due to intense or repetitive movements. In the medical sector, they offer stability and extra comfort, supporting those who wear shoes for long periods. Either way, Sneaknit uppers are designed to last while offering maximum comfort, whatever the use. If you are looking for an ideal solution for your uppers, contact us, and we will be happy to design them together! #sustainability #productivity #sport #motivation #job #future

We used High Spring yarn to make bags and the result was truly amazing! Especially for its “rebounding” effect! This yarn, already known for its extraordinary applications in the world of footwear, proved perfect for fashion accessories such as bags as well.

But it is the rebounding effect that makes the High Spring so special. Because of this characteristic, bags made with this yarn retain their original shape, resisting weight and the objects inside without deforming.
