If you’re an environmentally conscious sneakerhead then these picks should be for you. TreeHugger recently did their top choices for the best environmentally friendly sneakers currently available on the market. Here were their choices.
From TreeHugger:
1) Hemp Converse All-Stars — a straight-up classic with a new TreeHugger twist.
2) Terra Plana makes efficient use of natural materials, while minimizing toxins and glues.
3) Loomstate Vans blend Loomstate’s love for 100% organic cotton with the classic Vans styling.
4) The Veja Trainer is made from Brazilian organic cotton and Amazonian natural rubber, though it has a decidedly European vibe.
5) Worn Again’s style comes from used coffee bags, second-hand t-shirts, military jackets and scrap car-seat leather, and they make it all work.
