In the wake of the climate change crisis, many brands have opted to create sustainable and upcycled products to appeal to conscious consumers and 'Ocean Sneakers' have done just that with their latest product. The avant-garde sneakers are made using recycled plastic collected from the ocean and waterways and recycled used tires.
The Ocean Sneakers were designed and made in Spain and each pair removes 12 bottles of plastic from the ocean. By the same token, the timeless sneakers are cruelty-free and vegan -- making them a great option for conscious consumers. The demure shoes boast a monochromatic aesthetic and consumers can purchase them in multiple colorways including white, black, maroon, and blue -- to name a few.
