6 Of The Best Sustainable Sneakers | Men’s Health Magazine Australia
A good pair (or five) of sneakers is a necessity but if you want to (literally) kick your sustainability goals, then look no further.
Rick Burke, head of sport at THE ICONIC explains that “one of the biggest shifts taking place in sportswear (and the wider fashion industry as a whole) is the growing movement amongst consumers for greater transparency on where and how their clothes are made.”
Here are the best bits of eco-friendly footwear you can buy.
