KangaROOS can look back on a long tradition in the sneaker industry. The KangaROOS Made in Germany line is a shining example of impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. These sneakers are not just shoes; they are a testament to the craft of shoemaking and the preservation of tradition.
PALO SANTO by happen.studio attaches great importance to the highest product quality and special precision in packaging. The wood comes exclusively from fallen branches and dead trees from cultivated sources, where the essential oils develop in the aged wood over the years. The packaging reflects the company's commitment: it is carefully printed by hand on paper made from recycled materials using a durable Heidelberg platen. Their commitment to environmentally friendly materials and ethical sourcing makes them an ideal partner for this collaboration.
The special thing about this collaboration is the incorporation of the ancient wellness traditions of PALO SANTO into the design of the COIL R1 sneakers. For centuries, the burning of PALO SANTO, often referred to as "holy wood", has been a sacred ritual in South America, attributed with mystical powers, energetic cleansing abilities and healing properties. PALO SANTO's sweet notes of eucalyptus, pine, mint and lavender have the power to purify the air and have a calming effect on well-being.
The Kangaroos x Palo Santo COIL R1 'Holy Wood' sneaker is not only a work of art, but also an embodiment of environmentally conscious materials. The upper combines oily suede, nubuck and mesh, resulting in a harmonious blend of style and functionality. The lining is made of bioactive mesh, which ensures comfort and sustainability. The insole is made of microfiber and offers a first-class feel. The sole is a combination of lightweight Phylon and durable rubber that offers both comfort and durability.
The exclusivity of this collaboration is reflected in the limited production of only 356 pairs of the COIL R1 'Holy Wood' sneakers. Each pair represents a step towards a more sustainable, stylish, well-crafted and exclusive future and embodies a strong statement in the world of fashion.
