BEHIND THE BRAND

Group Picture PK Collective with founder Patrick Kunz

I am Patrick Kunz, a former shoe developer from Zurich, Switzerland. With years of experience working for the renowned Swiss premium brand Navyboot, I have dedicated myself to creating a sneaker brand that prioritizes sustainability without compromising style.

​

 

With the Uni | Corn ’91, I have designed a sneaker is not only eco-friendly, but it also boasts a sleek and modern aesthetic, making it perfect for both casual and dressy occasions. This sneaker is designed in Switzerland and manufactured in Portugal.

​

​

At PK Collective, sustainability and transparency is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in transparency and make a conscious effort to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible. We are committed to using sustainable materials and making a positive impact on the environment. Our sneaker is made with love and care, so you can wear them with pride and confidence.
