A good example of the right way to integrate sustainable materials into an existing product range, the classically styled Hemp E-Street sneakers from Vans have 100% hemp uppers and are made with non-toxic water-based inks and glues. Part of the label’s Surf Collection (ie, shoes that are better suited for farting around in than skating), the sneakers are a nice option for summer (insert pun about reducing global warming while the weather’s warm). Additional features include a Vanslite footbed, ergonomic Flexi Vulc gum rubber outsole, and a crazy affordable price.
