Typically, people wear footwear with socks. But footwear made from socks? Not as typical. In 2018, Italy-based design and manufacturing company Trerè Innovation — which specializes in sustainable technical apparel and footwear — launched the brand UYN, which is an acronym for “Unleash Your Nature” and pronounced “win.” Among its many products, UYN has ventured into creating footwear out of socks without seams.
After introducing UYN to 27 countries, the brand has made its U.S. debut. UYN makes footwear in men’s and women’s sizing for several categories, such as Biking, Active, Urban Outdoor and several others, with prices ranging from $149 to $319.
