Los Angeles luxury fashion imprint ROSE IN GOOD FAITH introduced its iconic Plastic Soul shoe earlier this year in July and now it gets an Endless Black colorway makeover. The limited shoe caught the attention of many with its subversive sustainable construction.
It is a clog silhouette that is made using a blend of thermoplastic and ethylene-vinyl acetate foam that is gathered from unused or discarded sex toys that are from Doc Johnson, an American sex toy manufacturer. Working together with the brand, the duo developed a special recycling system that is able to break down the toys into millimeter-sized cubes of TPE. The new colorway is a sleek model and continues to build upon the conversation on sexual health.
