ACBC Innovation Hub is launched
Innovation becomes an integrated service with the new space opened in Milan.
Keep reading...Sneaknit’s goal is to offer solutions that not only improve the technical performance of uppers, but do so while minimizing environmental impact. Let’s look at some examples.
Technology: Filling Injection
Among the most cutting-edge technologies developed recently, the Filling Injection technique represents a real breakthrough in the world of footwear. This process makes it possible to fill with extreme precision, certain areas of the upper, to provide exceptional protection and comfort.
Filling Injection was designed and perfected in collaboration with companies in the sports and medical industries to provide advanced protection and optimal anatomical support for uppers and insoles.
Siphon Yarn: the multifunctional yarn
Another feather in Sneaknit’s cap is Siphon Yarn, a highly innovative yarn that lends itself perfectly to the manufacture of shoe uppers of all kinds. This material is distinguished by three key characteristics: it is water-repellent, stain-resistant and dustproof. Thanks to its structure, it lets water slide off the surface and prevents dust and stains from penetrating the fabric.
Siphon Yarn is not only a yarn with high technical performance, but also offers a pleasant soft and natural feel. Ideal for those seeking functionality without sacrificing comfort and design.
Recycled and Sustainable Materials
Sustainability is always central to Sneaknit’s value ladder. In addition to using recycled polyester, the company has expanded its range of yarns to include those from alternative sources, such as recycled paper and denim. This choice is an important step toward reducing waste and optimizing resource consumption.
Incorporating low-impact materials into production processes not only decreases energy consumption, but also contributes to making the entire production chain more environmentally responsible.
At Sneaknit, they are aware that the future of footwear cannot only deal with new style trends but is based on a continuous search for technological innovations, sustainable materials, and a constant focus on comfort and functionality.
