The Komrads ICNS have a history that goes way back. The sneaker was first made around the fifties in the Sovjet Union in response to the American basketball trainer, Converse All Stars. The Komrads ICNS symbolised the ‘comrade of the people’. In the 80’s and 90’s they also dominated the streets and many rock festivals.
Use a damp cloth to clean your ICNS. We do not recommend washing your KOMRADS in the washing machine.
Please note that the new ICNS have a different fit. The Komrads ICNS fit rather small. If you are not sure which size to take, take one size up – if you are between sizes (e.g. 39,5)!
The sole is made of 100% recycled rubber, the fabric is 100% recycled cotton and PET bottles, as well as the laces. No more metal rings and the insole is removable and made of recycled carbon (Arnetech insole). Production has also been moved from Slovakia to Portugal, where sustainable production and the best working conditions are guaranteed.

It's a versatile, durable, bio-based and high-quality alternative to leather with a low environmental impact. Their soles are made from 100% recycled rubber from car tires and other sneaker soles, and colored with biological paint. The rubber is strong and from outstanding quality.
