studiœncore brings back your favourite sneaker for an encore
Over 25 billion shoes are sold annually.,
Sneaker production is particularly carbon-intensive, accounting for 1.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This is significant given that air travel is responsible for 2.5% of all emissions.
Even something as seemingly innocuous as a pair of running shoes contributes to this problem. The production of an average running shoe emits around 13 kg of CO₂, which is roughly equivalent to leaving a 100-watt light bulb on for one week.
For 20 years Florence was part of the problem: designing sneakers from behind her computer, travelling the world in search of the next big idea but also to factories and trade shows. In 2022 Florence had her very own light bulb moment: She decided that this had to stop and thought about how to create something meaningful blending her experience and passion for sneakers / design and craftmanship. She learnt how to make and repair sneakers by hand.
Studiœncore was born.
We collect old and worn sneakers, remove the sole (as yes many intact sneakers end up in landfill when the sole is crumbling or worn out) and replace it with a welt and a brand new vibram sole. The colour and shape of the welt vary making every shoe unique. This is where Florence's creativity come into play.
Prices start at 29€ for cleaning / 69€ for dying / 449€ for a new sole
