The world needs less, and D+D makes less than most, purposefully, to reduce waste. All D+D’s are produced in limited runs, always using responsibly sourced materials. Knowing exactly where the fabrics come from, how they’re made, and who puts them all together in their workshops, by name.
For the brand, that sums up what D+D is all about – deeply passionate and talented people, who are out to push for change in an industry that’s increasingly shifting towards doing more harm than good.

The new Stadia sneaker represents exactly that.
