A Global Exclusive: Introducing Superga x Aje - Raiz Invest

2020.10.28-Aje.jpg

Following the successful and extensively popular launch of their Resort 20 collaboration, Australian fashion house Aje, has come together once again with Italian shoe brand Superga, to unveil their second collaboration for Resort 21: ‘Chroma’

Last year, Superga x Aje debuted their first collaboration at Mercedes Benz Fashion week, an exclusive collection of sneakers featuring earthy tones and natural rope detailing inspired by the rich ochres and flora of the Australian landscape. This year, both brands took on a new design mission with one resounding purpose in mind: to create a global exclusive collaboration with an intentful and inherent focus on sustainability.

As a global and sustainable design exclusive, the Superga x Aje shoes have been co-designed and crafted from 60% organic cotton, 40% natural hemp, 100% organic thread, featuring a natural cork insole and 50% recycled rubber sole. Utilising expertise from both brands, the composition of the sneakers have been driven by material research, featuring organic, renewable materials that minimize the impact upon the environment throughout production, and are built to stand the test of time. The design materials are naturally coloured using environmentally friendly dyes, with physical properties that ensure a light, durable, impermeable and hypoallergenic style for consumers. The natural cork insole provides cushioning support, which combined with the breathable cotton-hemp body creates a comfortable, yet stylish wearing experience.

 

From shoe design to packaging for distribution, each part of the creation process has been mindfully fashioned with absolute recyclability and sustainability in mind. This includes minimal printing and ink usage, as well as a commitment to sourcing all materials from local, trusted suppliers.

Featuring two classic Superga silhouettes, the low platform and high platform sneaker have been reimagined with Aje sensibility, to create the ultimate modern and environmentally conscious shoe. The design and colouring is inspired by Aje’s Resort 21 collection titled ‘Chroma’, which delves into an exploration of colour theory and looks to the natural word as a catalyst for inspiration. Inspired in tandem by the process of creation, Superga x Aje gives form to the emotive link between the environment and the world of colour and mood, while simultaneously using the organic resources of our planet in a considered, thoughtful way.

 

Find collection inspiration through intricate detailing in soft beige and peach tones, from embroidered shoelace eyelets, to frayed edges and embossed logo detailing. Launched in October 2020, the Superga x Aje collaboration looks towards stretching the limits of design to embody sustainability, whilst leading the game changers and taste-makers. Relevant in a transient world that has seen much uncertainty, the collaboration seeks to uplift and refresh as the year draws to a close, and we continue onwards on the long road of healing.

 

With a subtle, yet chic versatility, they complement statement dresses with a feminine edge, or are easily paired with classic denim cuts for urban, everyday tastes. Discover the Superga x Aje collaboration to tread lightly on the world, with elegance and effortless cool.

Important Information

If you have read all or any part of our email, website, or communication then you need to know that this is factual information and general advice only. This means it does not consider any person’s particular financial objectives, financial situation, or financial needs. If you are an investor, you should consult a licensed adviser before acting on any information to fully understand the benefits and risk associated with the product. This is your call but that is what you should do.

You may be surprised to learn that RAIZ Invest Australia Limited (ABN 26 604 402 815) (Raiz), an authorised representative AFSL 434776 prepared this information.

We are not allowed, and have not prepared this information to offer financial product advice or a recommendation in relation to any investments or securities. If we did give you personal advice, which we did not, then the use of the Raiz App would be a lot more expensive than the current pricing – sorry but true. You therefore should not rely on this information to make investment decisions, because it was not about you for once, and unfortunately, we cannot advise you on who or what you can rely on – again sorry.

A Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for Raiz Invest and/or Raiz Invest Super is available on the Raiz Invest website and App. A person must read and consider the PDS before deciding whether, or not, to acquire and/or continue to hold interests in the financial product. We know and ASIC research shows that you probably won’t, but we want you to, and we encourage you to read the PDS so you know exactly what the product does, its risks and costs. If you don’t read the PDS, it’s a bit like flying blind. Probably not a good idea.

The risks and fees for investing are fully set out in the PDS and include the risks that would ordinarily apply to investing. You should note, as illustrated by the global financial crisis of 2008, that sometimes  not even professionals in the financial services sector understand the ordinary risks of investing – because by their nature many risks are unknown – but you still need to give it a go and try to understand the risks set out in the PDS.

Any returns shown or implied are not forecasts and are not reliable guides or predictors of future performance. Those of you who cannot afford financial advice may be considering ignoring this statement, but please don’t, it is so true.

Under no circumstance is the information to be used by, or presented to, a person for the purposes of deciding about investing in Raiz Invest or Raiz Invest Super.

This information may be based on assumptions or market conditions which change without notice and have not been independently verified. Basically, this says nothing stays the same for long in financial markets (or even in life for that matter) and we are sorry. We try, but we can’t promise that the information is accurate, or stays accurate.

Any opinions or information expressed are subject to change without notice; that’s just the way we roll.
