Converse Gets Eco Friendly
If you're trying to find ways to live a more eco friendly life, looking at what you're wearing is a great place to start. Converse is making that more accessible for the public, releasing a new collection of sneakers that displays a line of faded, contrasted designs in Hi and Ox cuts, formulated by a combination of recycled cotton and recycled plastic bottles. Converse takes a more environment friendly approach via applying more resourceful manufacturing strategies. This isn’t unfamiliar to us, as they first released the Renew Tri-Panel Chuck 70 collection to the public last Spring. They decided to follow up with the collection and provide additional colors and styles for consumers to buy.
Converse have been around for decades and we still continue to show them love, they’re durable, laid-back, super comfy, and can match essentially anything. The Chuck 70 took inspiration from Earthy tones, in colors like branded melon, noble grey, prairie sande, and mellow rose. These sneakers are unlike any, giving off a laid-back retro kind of feel, and fabfrivated by dye free yarn.
Buying these shoes will support conserving the Earth while also wearing one of your favorite shoes. Creating a line of recycled shoes is a step in the right path and other companies should follow in their footsteps. Make sure you get your hands on a pair of these sneakers, starting May 15th on converse.com.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
