The Niittyheinikossa sneakers are made of unbleached organic cotton canvas in the Mini Unikko pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The shoes have 4 cm thick rubber soles that feature visible, recycled rubber flecks.

40% of the sole material is made of recycled rubber.

Unikko (poppy), symbolizing creativity, was born in a time when hardly any floral designs were included in Marimekko’s collections. Maija Isola, however, was fascinated by the theme of flowers and decided to create an entire range of novel floral prints.
