RE:GROUND
The first sneakers made with coffee
Two years ago, Zèta took on the crazy challenge of shaking up the shoe industry by turning coffee grounds into sneakers.
The result of a year of research, RE:GROUND is an innovative sneaker: made from 80% recycled & upcycled materials, it incorporates Nespresso coffee grounds in its vegan leather, but also in its outsole and insole. Hand-assembled in the purest Portuguese tradition, this unique pair of shoes combines innovation and durability.
RE:GROUND is a limited collection available in limited stocks in three colours: Latte, Cappuccino and Ristretto.
Zèta design recycled, recyclable and vegan sneakers with the lowest environmental impact possible. Designed in Bordeaux, the shoes are assembled by hand in the Porto region with a care for people.
