  • Timberland launches a program called “Timberloop” that invites customers to return used Timberland products so they can be refurbished or disassembled and then upcycled.  (Fast Company) Hopefully this program stays.
  • 2022 is taking a giant step in the right direction. Congratulations to our first Sustainable Footwear Design Challenge (Your Favorite Kicks)! Alondra Benicio's @alondra_benicio winning design "The Two Sides In The World (Nature & The Ocean)" was not only visually captivating but also the materials used and overall design could be easily deconstructed and disposed of. Not to mention reduced waste from the factory level around 60% (including outsourced materials, lasts and molds).  "Together we can make a change to reduce fashion waste. There are many ways we can make a impact on waste that can make a huge difference in the world." Benicio's winning design will be revealed this coming April. No sneak peeks here - you'll have to check back then to see those dope kicks in real life! Thank You everyone who entered the challenge. Our honorable mentions are: Radiate U - @ViolettabymeSustainable Runners 21 -  @urs.trulyyyy And thank you so much to our sponsors who believe in this project as well as our mission to help reduce Shoe Waste - swipe left to see! @bkstylefoundation @bloomfoam @lala.land.design
  • Some WUTANG X ROCKDEEP Saga kicks. Dropped while we wait for the continuation of the next season. Made with all the Wu effects: Black, yellow, killer bees and honeycombs. ...Let's go ahead and walk these dogs and represent Wu! @wutangclan x @rockdeepglobal @realghostfacekillah
  • Winner of the Sustainable Sneaker Challenge will be delayed until December 15th. We appreciate your patience as we deliberate.
  • The shoe that started it all... We will update our course unfortunately to read "the late" Virgil Abloh. Abloh is highlighted as a designer who brought an architecture perspective to streetwear with @off____white giving literal direction, structure and a simple orange zipcord luggage tag. Fashion is surely missing a huge piece of the future puzzle right now.
  • Shekudo, founded in Sydney Australia, began as a womens clothing brand -drawing on heritage, life experiences and a wearable art aesthetic.  Now under the sole creative direction of Akudo Iheakanwa, the brand relaunched into footwear and accessories moving its base across the Indian Ocean to commence production in Lagos, Nigeria. With this move, the brand hoped to shed more light on the local artisan and craftsmanship scene whilst integrating some of the age old techniques and overlooked local resources into its own contemporary aesthetic. Shekudo has gone from a team of 4 to 14 artisans and master craftsmen in just over a year.   Shekudo works hard to make sure that the majority of its raw materials can be found or produced locally (such as its shoe heels, recycled insoles as well as the upper and lining fabric for the shoes). The brand currently includes local leather and  traditional Aso Oke/Akwete cloth for its shoe uppers, local cotton for the dust bags, as well as wood, brass and silver for the earrings.  Shekudo aims to one day be the leading producer and supplier of quality women's footwear and accessories in Africa. @shekudo
  • The newest installation from Lagos Fashion Week that caught our attention is from @iamisigo A little Geopolitics fo r our audience. Curated in the British Colonial "gifted" Independence House (which was abandoned in recent years) - the collection marries the synthetic fibers with natural fibers. This synchronization has now become part of our future movement within textile and fashion industry as we work towards Ethical options and prevent build up in landfills. Bubu Ogiso' Green Water, Blue Forest SS/2022 collection created a visual reminder of what is actually happening in fashion and in the world. "We are only two omni-present fibres, hemp and plastic." Says Ogiso. "We wanted to show people how to use plastic as a vessel of preservation, with its container as an ultimate canvas instead of just using and disposing of it.” The plastic worn as shoes may not be practical - but is a truth teller of what we ARE wearing...plastic on our feet. And why? Because we are still living with the ghosts of overwhelming colonization trying to figure out the best way to co-exist.
