Stella McCartney‘s partnership with adidas has been going for a pretty long time, since SS05 to be exact, and it shows no signs of flagging yet. In fact, they’re continuing to innovate over 10 years on with this sustainable Stan Smith sneaker – the first to be completely leather-free.
The vegetarian-friendly shoe features a crisp white upper with tonal elements throughout and perforated stars detailing the iconic Three Stripes on the lateral side. Upon the heel lies a black panel with joint branding and red and black stripes running down toward the midsole. To honor the duo, the faces of Stella McCartney and Stan Smith are stamped onto each tongue respectively, while a light, textured midsole completes the look.
The unisex adidas Originals sneaker is available for preorder now from Stella McCartney’s web store for £235 (approx. $300 USD), with the product releasing on September 10 – Stella McCartney’s birthday.
Maintaining a vegan lifestyle can be a daunting task. It not only requires a plant-based diet but also calls for the elimination of any animal-based clothing, footwear and home goods. Finding leather and fur-free garments has become easier with the fashion industry’s push to go fur-free. Sneaker retailers are slowly beginning to accommodate this demand using alternative materials like plastic and corn to create silhouettes that are cruelty-free and sustainable.
We’ve rounded up five vegan sneakers that you can add to your rotation this fall to build your stock. Our picks are not only stylish but also trendy so you don’t have to miss out on the hottest designs. Mesh runners, chunky trainers, sock sneakers can all still be sported without the cost of using an animal by-product or further polluting the environment. The top select of the bunch is Nike‘s Air Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer. The hybrid performance-racing model has a comfortable Flyknit upper paired with a cushioned sole. From white to purple, any colorway looks good on this frame and we’re pretty impressed.
