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 already dominated the streets and many rock festivals.  Next step: making the ICNS fully sustainable! Of course the cool design of the ICNS has been retained! Vegan: Officially PETA-approved Designed in Belgium, produced in Portugal
