The bicolor sole is made of recycled tyres and gives our sneakers a contemporary and original look. All RE49 shoes are hand-made in Italy, in RE49's atelier in Gonars, in the province of Udine.Back in 1949 Valentino Masolini started to recycle fabric scraps and abandoned military uniforms to make shoes. In 2021, his great-grandson, Nicola Masolini, reuses fabrics, beach umbrellas, beach deckchairs and sails to create shoes. This is how, in a small village of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, RE49 was born : the most sustainable shoe brand in the world, producing unique Made in Italy products, according to the circular economy model."In our atelier, the art and experience in shoe making are being passed on for four generations. Since 1949, our shoes have been made here with precision and passion. We believe in the infinite capacity to reinvent ourselves and our world. For this reason, our mission is to protect the planet and shape a better future for our children. Which is why, in 2021, from a traditional leather shoe production, we completely redefined our business and are now producing shoes with recycled, recovered, animal-free, vegan materials. Going back to the origins and rethinking our production model was the only way to make a difference.We are dreamers, artists, and artisans, and we are the most sustainable shoe brand in the world. The past is our lesson, the present is where we can still make a difference, and the future is our motivation"Nicola Masolini - RE49.
