Reformation and New Balance Just Teamed up to Drop Sustainable Sneaks That Couldn’t Be Cuter
This gets me going for two big reasons: The first is that I live to know things, well, first, and the second is that I can't get enough dad sneakers in my life. Nothing makes me want to use ten exclamation points in a row more than the fact that these two things came in one glorious package. The collection, which contains three sneaker styles in five exclusive color ways, is New Balance's first sustainability-led collab and Reformation's first foray into sneakers (the brand launched a sustainable footwear line earlier this year).

The sneakers are made from chrome-free suede, and the tannery they tapped uses a chrome-free tanning method (chrome can become carcinogenic when not handled properly). The tannery also has a Leather Working Group gold status, the highest level for environmental compliance a sustainable practices in the leather industry. The linings, laces, and labels of the sneakers are made from post-consumer recycled polyester, and the shoe inserts are a combo of EVA foam and BLOOM algae foam, which, according to BLOOM's website, is made from algae biomass, and actually helps clean the environment.
Oh, and also the shoes are incredibly cool and I want every single pair. They are available for purchase from Reformation (online and in stores) and New Balance (online) starting October 10, but the waitlist for the shoes is currently live. Prices range from $80 to $110. Check out the collab below.
