Recycled Tire Rubber
We reuse tire rubber to create a tough, long-lasting sole.
OUR SOLUTION
From discarded tires to durable slides.
EcoSlides turns tire waste into comfortable, long-lasting footwear—built through hands-on prototyping and designed for everyday movement.

HOW IT'S MADE
Our EcoSlides process repurposes our main materials: recycled tire rubber, leather straps, and rubber insoles.
MODEL
How EcoSlides works
A simple build: recycled rubber + smart construction + continuous refinement.
Comfort & Fit
We test prototypes to improve comfort, fit, and everyday wearability.
Simple Production
A practical process that can be scaled while keeping quality and low impact.
Lower Impact
Turning waste into a useful product helps reduce tire dumping and burning.
Key idea: the material is built to last so we design the product to last too.
BENEFITS
Built for durability. Designed for impact.
EcoSlides combines performance and purpose in one simple product.
Durable
Tire rubber is tough by design—ideal for a long-lasting sole.
Comfortable
Refined through real use, focusing on fit and everyday comfort.
Eco-Friendly
Repurposing tires helps reduce waste and pollution.
Community-ready
Simple production supports local craftsmanship and practical scaling.

Handcrafted • Upcycled • Durable
Step 01
01 Collect & Select
We collect discarded tires and choose strong rubber sections suitable for upcycling into durable soles.
- Careful selection for strength and longevity.
- Local sourcing and responsible reuse.
02 Select Tires
We choose the best tire sections for durability and safety.
03 Cut Sidewall
We remove sidewalls to access workable, strong rubber sections.
04 Mark Template
We trace the sandal outline for consistent sizing and fit.
05 Template Check
We validate the shape and sizing before cutting.
06 Sand & Smooth
We sand edges and surfaces for comfort and durability.
07 Adjust Straps
We prepare and adjust straps for comfort and strength.
08 Hammer & Fit
We secure components and test strap placement.
09 Assemble
We assemble each pair by hand and refine the fit.
Step 10
10 Final Check
We check comfort, durability, and finish so every pair is ready to wear and made to last.
PROTOTYPES
Built from tire strips. Designed to last.
Every pair gives discarded rubber a second life reducing waste, lowering microplastic pollution from breakdown, and celebrating craftsmanship that feels good to wear.
First EcoSlides Prototype
Prototype (Origin)
EcoSlides started with a simple experiment and a strong belief: waste doesn't have to stay waste.
- This first prototype was built to test an idea transforming tire strips into functional footwear that could withstand daily use.
- Stability, structure, and durability came first.
- The goal wasn't perfection, but proof: proof that discarded materials could be reshaped, trusted, and worn with confidence.
Support Fit (Origin Prototype)
Our starting point. Built to feel stable and durable — then refined into later models with better comfort and fit.
Evolution
After our first prototype, we refined the designs into everyday-ready models improving hold, comfort, and versatility while keeping the same mission: upcycled tire strips with real durability.
Classic Cross-Strap
Our secure everyday build. The crossed tire-strip straps distribute pressure evenly, improving hold and comfort for daily wear.
Urban Strap
Easy on, easy off. Two tire-rubber straps deliver a clean look and dependable grip, made for quick everyday movement.
Trail Sandal
Minimal and rugged. A simpler strap with tire-rubber traction — made for outdoor days and rougher surfaces.
Panama Heritage
A tribute to tradition — reimagined with tire strips. This is where local identity meets circular design.
La Cutarra (Panama Edition)
A cultural classic reimagined with tire strips to honor tradition while reducing waste.
- Tradition: A timeless Panamanian silhouette.
- Craft: Hand-finished tire-strip weaving.
- Impact: Waste-to-wear design with purpose.
Inspired by the Panamanian cutarra
