CONCEPT(K) and CAMPERLAB Unite for “Stone Grey” Tossu: A Forward-Thinking Design Collaboration
Two innovative brands, CONCEPT(K) and CAMPERLAB, have joined forces to create the ultimate sneaker: the “Stone Grey” Tossu. This collaboration is rooted in their shared love for cutting-edge design processes and a passion for pushing boundaries.
CAMPERLAB’s glue-free, zero-waste model has been reimagined in CONCEPT(K)’s signature concrete-inspired color palette, showcasing the studio’s appreciation for raw materials and industrial textures. The end result is a unique and sculptural shoe, featuring an asymmetrical molded rubber cage and fragmented eyelet system.
But what sets this collaboration apart is the innovative 3D bonding process used to fuse the sole and uppers together, without the use of any glues and without creating any waste. Even the sock is constructed using 3D-knitting methods, contributing to the zero-waste ethos of the design and utilizing recycled polyester.
With its ultramodern and minimalist design, the “Stone Grey” Tossu perfectly reflects the spirits of both CONCEPT(K) and CAMPERLAB. These two brands have a unique position in the footwear market, offering design-focused sneakers without relying on flashy gimmicks. By choosing a pared-back color palette, this collaborative shoe highlights the intricate processes involved in its development and manufacturing.
