Stylishly Sustainable Sneaker Collaborations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Rick Owens x VEJA Boasts Two Unisex Silhouettes

— February 19, 2020 — Eco
A new Rick Owens x VEJA collaboration has been released for Spring/Summer 2020. The silhouettes are designed to be style-forward, as well as environmentally sustainable. Each is offered in a few colorways and the footwear boasts innovative materials that are good for the environment -- this includes a variety of recycled and natural-based substances, "including plant-based castor oil materials, plastic bottles, Amazonian rubber, and corn waste."

First in the Rick Owens x VEJA collection is the ultra-slick and minimalist Performance Runner, which is breathable and available in multiple colorways, and second is the vegan Hiking Style, which is "designed for use on rough and natural terrain."

The prices for these chic footwear options range from $240 to $270.
