Step up and help look after the planet - by Lottie Dalziel

6 Of The Best Sustainable Sneakers
Ecoalf

A good pair (or five) of sneakers is a necessity but if you want to (literally) kick your sustainability goals, then look no further.

Rick Burke, head of sport at THE ICONIC explains that “one of the biggest shifts taking place in sportswear (and the wider fashion industry as a whole) is the growing movement amongst consumers for greater transparency on where and how their clothes are made.”

Here are the best bits of eco-friendly footwear you can buy. 

1. Nike’s ‘Space Hippie’

Will be available in Autumn

Nike’s latest addition – the Space Hippie – is created using what they call 'Space Waste Yarn.' This material is made from 100 percent recycled material — including recycled plastic water bottles and t-shirts, taking the company one step closer to their aim of creating a closed-loop economy.
