Timberland's Greenstride Solar Wave EK+ Collection shares mid, low and low fabric styles with environmentally conscious materials, which supports the brand's goal of having a net positive impact by 2030. The eco-friendly hiking shoes have upper components made from regenerative leather and soles made with 75% renewable materials like cane sugar and natural rubber.
The sneakers are marked with an EK+ to identify them as Earthkeepers Edition styles that support sustainability in both materials and their manufacturing methods.
For the future, the brand is working towards sourcing 100% of its natural materials from regenerative agriculture. This system of farming helps to enhance the entire ecosystem and helps to fight the climate crisis. This collection, introduced around Earth Day, represents the brand's vision for the next decade and beyond.
