Alme is a shoe brand belonging to the Brazilian footwear and fashion group Arezzo&Co. It is built around comfort and environmental responsibility.

Products and positioning

Alme maps the origin, materials and carbon footprint of each product, and customers can access this information through a traceability QR code. A flagship example is the Lume sneaker, a laceless slip on presented as 100% carbon neutral:

  • Upper in recycled cotton with no materials of animal origin
  • Elastic and stitching made with thread from recycled PET bottles
  • Green EVA insole
  • Sole mixing recycled and natural rubber

In 2022 the brand launched its first kids' line, with a sloth mascot and sizes 26 to 32, extending its adult range of sizes 33 to 44.

Distribution

Alme sells through its own e-commerce channel and stores in Sao Paulo, including Iguatemi Sao Paulo mall and a flagship on Rua Oscar Freire in the Jardins district, which reopened in 2021 as an ecological store.
