1. Sneakers PRINCE OFF WHITE/ GREEN/ BLUE | Ecoalf

The ECOALF Prince trainers have the lowest carbon footprint on the market. They are made from recycled Polyester sea yarn which comes from the ECOALF Foundation’s Upcycling The Oceans project, through which more than 4,000 fishermen across the Mediterranean Sea have collected more than 1,000 tons of waste since 2015. By doing this they seek to clean up the oceans with this process and facilitate the correct management of recovered waste. In addition, the sole contains 20% recycled Rubber. The Spanish brand has managed to incorporate recycled Rubber into the sole of its trainers through innovative processes, in its mission to create a new generation of recycled products. Lightweight, comfortable trainers that remove plastic from our oceans.
