Levi's new sustainable boot in collaboration with The Woolmark Company

Levi's and The Woolmark Company have announced the release of their new collaborative project: the Torsten Quilted Boot, created from sustainable materials, which aims to underline the importance of Merino wool as an eco-sustainable material, as well as its high performance. Among the many companies fighting for a more sustainable fashion, in fact, The Woolmark Company, a non-profit company owned by more than 60,000 Merino sheep farmers that invests in research, development and marketing worldwide, has been promoting for years the role of Merino wool as a 100% natural fiber, biodegradable, recyclable but above all much more versatile than you would think. In addition to its eco-friendly features, in fact, Merino wool is also perfect for creating performance-driven clothing thanks to its ability to repel odors, its natural breathability and its anti-allergenic abilities.

The Torsten Quilted Boot evokes, with its shape and details, the gorpcore aesthetic that dominates many of the recent winter fashion collections but wants to express the values of versatility and durability that have inspired the entire capsule through a clean and minimalist style suitable for both off-road paths and sidewalks of large cities. Sustainability is then the main drive of the entire construction of the boot: in addition to the inner lining in Woolmark certified wool felt, in fact, the upper is in leather, coming from factories certified by the Leather Working Group, combined with an upper in CORDURA® Eco, a material made of 100% recycled nylon – always recycled materials make up 20% of the sole and 100% of the laces.
