Description

FRACTUS CACTUS

The Fractus model is part of the YY Nation sneaker range crafted from cactus leather. Its production relies on natural materials extracted from cactus nopales, reducing the reliance on conventional chemicals and petrochemicals. The internal structure features a Tencel™ lining derived from wood pulp, known for its temperature-regulating properties and moisture-wicking capabilities. This combination of materials provides a smooth, silky feel while ensuring the footwear's durability and comfort.

The aesthetic versatility of the model allows for varied use, adapting to different dress styles. The sole, engineered for stability and durability, is manufactured using bio-based components such as algae or sugarcane. To optimize grip and facilitate movement across various surfaces, the sole construction is complemented by strategically placed rubber inserts.

From an environmental perspective, the Fractus model is characterized by a reduced carbon footprint, averaging 4.89 kg CO2e per pair compared to an industry average of 14 kg. Variants utilizing an algae-based sole report emissions of 4.98 kg CO2e, while those featuring sugarcane reach 4.80 kg CO2e. These ecological performance data have been independently analyzed and certified according to ISO 14067 standards by thinkstep™ and Ekos™.

Specifications

Construction

-- YY soles are made from natural bio-based materials such as algae and sugarcane that avoid the harmful oil-based chemicals found in most conventional shoes.
-- Cactus leather accents reduce CO2 emissions by preventing this waste material from being burned, turning waste into something valuable.
-- Transportation needs are reduced, as many raw materials are turned into YY Nation’s unique shoe components within 65 miles (100 km) of the manufacturing base.
-- Small carbon footprint: the YY Nation supply chain is designed to minimize its impact, with CO2e emissions estimated to be 42%–61% lower than those of conventional sneakers.
-- YY Nation sneakers are Zero Carbon certified; whatever is taken from the environment is given back by planting indigenous forests to restore natural ecosystems for future generations and wildlife.
-- All packaging is made from FSC-certified, environmentally friendly cardboard, and the laces are made from recycled post-consumer plastic.
