Rick Owens has teamed up with Veja on a fully sustainable trainer.
Veja collaborations with CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award-winning Owens’ are one of the most-anticipated sneaker hook-ups out there (btw, always an instant sellout).
In the past, the Paris-based designer took the French brand’s best hiking sustainable sneakers and knitted runners for a spin, offering them the chunky laces and his signature back tags.
Now the pair is back for another outing.
Veja and Owens have introduced to us the new pair: The Runner Style 2.
These trainers, the Runner Style 2, is the low reinterpretation of the Runner Style developed last year and comes into 4 colors and 2 variations. They have been made on a lighter and smoother sole, helping runners achieve faster and better runs.
A better purchase?
Yes! The shoes have been made on a smoother and lighter sole, which in turn can indeed help you achieve better and faster runs. But that’s not all…
There’s more to the Runner Style 2 that can make you feel better if you really need to purchase a new pair of running sneaks:
#1 They are bio-based: While the Runner Style 2. might carry you further and at a greater speed, the big deal with these trainers is that they are their greenest effort to date, to be precise!
#2 Composition — combination: The midsole composition of the trainers is at 46% sugar cane and 8% banana oil. The outsole is made out of natural cork that has been merged with 30% Amazonian rubber and 31% rice waste too.
#3 Recycled materials in and out: the knitted upper part of the shoe is made entirely of 100% recycled polyester coming from waste plastic bottles.
