From Waste To Wonderful
High-Performance Sustainability, Reimagined…
At the heart
of every product we make
is innovation with purpose.
Fleks isn’t just simply made from premium recycled materials — it’s footwear reimagined. Every material, every product, every step we take proves sustainability can be bold, beautiful, and built to perform.
Our proprietary foams, FLEKSfoam and FLEKSsheet, are crafted in partnership with Blumaka, transforming high-performance foam scraps into something extraordinary.
FLEKSfoam
Proprietary Formula
What is FLEKSfoam?
Sourced from premium foam remnants—ETPU from some of the highest-performance athletic shoes in the world—FLEKSfoam gives these high-quality, otherwise discarded scraps a second life.
Blended with our proprietary formula and molded to perfection, FLEKSfoam contains up to 85% recycled content by volume — offering a sleek, finished look using only 2 tablespoons of water to make, and zero compromise on performance.
In fact, the way we've repurposed the foam makes it even more durable than what it was originally crafted for. We gather, grind, and reform these materials into something new — extending their lifecycle and redefining their purpose.
FLEKSsheet
sustainability in full spectrum
What Is FLEKSsheet?
A vibrant blend of recycled ETPU and EVA (where the accent colors come in), FLEKSsheet is sustainability in full spectrum. These sheets, made with up to 93% recycled foam, are ground, remixed, and precision-cut for versatile use—all while keeping tons of waste out of landfills and incinerators.
Our Impact.
Big Dreams, Big Impact
We measure the recycled content in each of our products by volume, the most honest expression of how much waste we rescue and repurpose in each shoe. Every pair, every product, is a small revolution in reducing our footprint—without ever sacrificing feel, function, or style.
Our Materials
Recycled & Repurposed, by Design
Our design process starts with what others discard: high-performance premium foams, beautiful B-grade leathers, textiles made from recycled materials or deadstock that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Each material we repurpose has a story. A past life as factory overflow. A mis-cut. A scrap too small for mass production—but perfect for reinvention. We gather, grind, or reform these materials into something new, extending their lifecycle and redefining their purpose.
Our Process
We begin with what others leave behind
We're not perfect.
just better.
