Craft, culture and storytelling define this new wave of design
Your daily coffee ritual gets a second life – this time as a sneaker
Subko and Thaely are proving sustainability can look as good as it sounds. Their limited-edition sneaker, ‘Everyday Arabica’, transforms the familiar coffee run into a story of circular design, bringing together Subko’s specialty coffee culture and Thaely’s expertise in upcycled footwear. The collaboration gives Subko’s spent Arabica coffee grounds a new purpose, integrating them into sneaker soles alongside recycled rubber and plastic, while the uppers are crafted using Thaely’s signature recycled materials. The result even carries a subtle coffee aroma – an unexpected detail both brands chose to preserve. Finished with recycled plastic bottle laces and plantable coffee-dyed packaging, the 250-pair drop turns waste into a collector’s piece rooted in craft, culture and conscious design.
