Featuring uppers and sides made of viscose and polyurethane produced using corn-based polyols, the sustainable sneaks are available in the brand’s Open and Rockstud Untitled styles. The sneakers also include recycled polyester laces and rubber soles.
A lifecycle assessment indicated the sneakers have a lower environmental footprint than footwear produced using fossil-based materials.
Combining luxury with sustainability will set you back, however. The Open sneaker retails for $690, while the Rockstud Untitled is priced at $850. The company is also using recycled cotton and paper from sustainably-managed forests in the packaging, and vowed last year to stop using fur.
