The 'GreenPlax' sneakers are a range of footwear options that aim to make use of an unlikely material in order to offer consumers a more eco-friendly style. Designed by CCILU, the sneakers are the winner of an A'Design Award and are crafted from a blend of recycled plastic from the ocean along with EVA foam to support a comfortable walking experience. A total of 15 plastic bottles go into a single pair of the sneakers, which also helps them to be inherently water repellent, dirt-proof, UV protective, moisture-wicking and more.
The 'GreenPlax' sneakers come in several stylish color options and feature an ultra-flexible sole that will move more fully with the wearer to let them enjoy comfort like never before.
