For summer, the most versatile sneaker colors are light tones (white, sand, beige) that are easy to match and suitable for all destinations.
At IKO:NOTT, each color has a mythological name and a vibe: Notos for the sea, Aura for the city, Zephyr for nature, Aube for evenings, Boreal for adventurous spirits.
All are made in Portugal from 100% recycled materials, with a memory foam sole made of FSC-certified natural cork: lightweight, breathable, and designed to last more than one summer.
So, which one will you take with you?

Which color for your destination?
Are you going to the sea? Opt for Notos, Aube, or Aura: light tones, easy to match with a beach or port outfit. They are resistant to wandering and clean with a wipe.
Are you exploring a city? Our sneakers from the Eole collection are a must-have: a chic and sober style that works just as well on a terrace as in an art gallery, without looking too sporty.
Are you going into nature? Phoenix is made for that: a deep color that doesn't show dust, on a sole that absorbs miles.
Don't know yet? Our sneakers are so light that slipping two pairs into your suitcase costs you almost nothing, neither in weight nor in space.
Why choose ethical sneakers for summer?
In summer, we walk more. We sweat more. We wear out our shoes more.
That's exactly why a well-designed sneaker makes all the difference:
- Breathability: open-mesh recycled mesh or water-repellent recycled leather depending on the model
- Lightweight: technical recycled materials, so you forget you're wearing them
- Durability: made in Portugal, to last more than one summer
- Easy care: a damp sponge is enough, even after a day at the beach
And because a sneaker that you keep for a long time is a sneaker that doesn't end up in the trash, choosing IKO:NOTT is also a gesture for the planet.
