The Eco-Friendly Journey of the Vegan bio-based Sneaker The Uni | Corn '91

Welcome to PK Collective, where style meets sustainability! Today, we're excited to take you on a journey behind the scenes of our latest project, The Uni Corn '91. This extraordinary bio-based vegan sneaker, designed in Switzerland and meticulously crafted in Portugal by Patrick Kunz, is more than just footwear – it's a symbol of our commitment to the environment and innovative design.


A Vision for Sustainable Fashion


The Uni Corn '91 project was born out of a deep desire to contribute to sustainable fashion. We recognized the increasing demand for eco-friendly footwear and knew that we could create something extraordinary that not only looked good but also did good. We believe that fashion and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand, and that belief ignited our journey.


From Sketch to Reality


Every significant project begins with a simple sketch. Ours was a vision on paper that brought to life a sleek, stylish, and eco-friendly sneaker. This initial sketch served as the foundation for our mission to create a product that respects the environment.

Behind every great design is an innovative mind. Patrick Kunz dedication to sustainability, Swiss design precision, and attention to detail have played a vital role in bringing our vision to life. Patrick's innovative design approach has helped shape the unique identity of The Uni Corn '91.


Eco-Friendly Design Elements


The Uni Corn '91 stands out not only for its design but also for its eco-friendly construction. These sneakers are made from corn, a groundbreaking material that reduces our carbon footprint while delivering comfort and durability. We are proud to embrace 100% vegan, bio-based materials, a significant step toward sustainability.


The Art of Shoemaking


While the design concept took root in Switzerland, the intricate craftwork that brings our sneakers to life happens in Portugal. This decision allows us to draw from Portugal's rich shoemaking tradition while staying true to our commitment to sustainability. Our Portuguese artisans infuse each pair of shoes with exceptional craftsmanship, ensuring that every detail meets our high standards.
