UPcycled Denim Sneakers
In response to textile overconsumption and the climate emergency, ME.LAND invites its customers to bring back their unused jeans. Collected, sorted, and then handcrafted in Portugal, these forgotten denims are given a second life as sneakers that combine design, durability, and commitment.
Denim Sneakers: A Trendy & Responsible Look.
Denim sneakers are making a major comeback in the fashion scene for both men and women. Casual yet stylish, they stand out as a unique alternative to the classic white sneaker. Perfect for both urban outfits and dressier looks, they win people over with their versatility and authenticity.
Today, ME.LAND goes even further by offering upcycled denim sneakers, giving forgotten denim at the back of your closet a second chance—blending style, comfort, and eco-conscious fashion.
What Denim Sneaker Models Are Available at ME.LAND?
Not a high-top sneaker, but a denim twist on two of the brand’s best-selling models:
EVAN: a low-top denim sneaker, upcycled with a clean and urban design. Its unisex cut makes it ideal for both men and women. A vegan and upcycled sneaker that fits perfectly into any modern city look.
VIVACE: a more assertive denim trainer, a recycled unisex sneaker made for bold, contemporary outfits. The ultimate ethical and responsible sneaker.
Key Features:
• Innovative design: crafted from repurposed denim garments—your old blue jeans get a second life!
• Vegan and eco-friendly: made with recycled materials, including upcycled marine plastic waste.
• Handmade in Portugal for a premium, artisanal finish.
• Unisex fit: perfect for women and men.
• Easy to care for, just like your jeans.
• Shipped in eco-conscious packaging made from recycled cardboard.
The first models will be available starting October 1, 2025, in-store and online. After that, delivery depends on the volume of denim collected.
💡 ME.LAND bonus: Bring in our store your old blue jeans (preferably dark wash) and get 20% off all sneakers. A simple way to support eco-design while becoming an active part of the circular fashion movement.
“Why produce what already exists? We believe forgotten clothes can become objects of desire. Turning your jeans into sneakers means giving fashion a future, without compromising on style.” – Frédéric, founder of ME.LAND

When and How to Wear Denim Sneakers?

• Weekend comfort: match them with denim shorts, a trendy skirt, or light chinos for a relaxed summer outfit.

How to Care for Denim Sneakers?
To make your denim sneakers last longer, here are some simple tips:
• First step: always waterproof your sneakers with a suitable spray to protect them from water and dust.
• Clean regularly with a soft brush and a slightly damp cloth.
• Use mild soap or baking soda to remove tough stains.
• Let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Store them in a dry place to optimize durability.
ME.LAND sneakers come with removable insoles, making cleaning even easier.
Are There Eco-Friendly or Made-in-France Options?
Yes! That’s exactly what ME.LAND stands for:
• Sneakers made through upcycling (transforming old jeans into new shoes).
• Handcrafted in Europe (Portugal) for an ethical production chain.
• Eco-conscious packaging with no unnecessary plastic and reduced carbon footprint.
• Ultra-limited series production to avoid overproduction and encourage slow fashion.
With these models, ME.LAND establishes itself as a reference in ethical and responsible sneakers, without compromising on style for men or women.
