Caring for the environment and sustainability affects all aspects of life and we can all contribute to it. Even when it comes to buying shoes, we have more and more options to take care of our ecological footprint. Asphaltgold makes it easy for you by offering a wide range of sustainable and vegan sneakers in a dedicated category. We've picked out some of the most popular models for you, so you can not only look good but also set a good example.
SALOMON ACS PRO
The Salomon ACS Pro in the colour 'Nightshade / Moonscape / Ashes of Roses' has a modern look. The different shades of purple and lilac look good for runners as well as on the street in everyday life. The model contains no leather and is made of textile and rubber, making it vegan.
NEW BALANCE MR530ZO
The MR530 in the colour 'Sea Salt / Ice Blue' is also completely leather-free and therefore suitable for vegans. The sole is waterproof and has a robust tread. This means the sneaker offers good grip even in wet weather.
VEJA V-10 CWL
If you're looking for a vegan sneaker, take a closer look at all the Veja sneakers at Asphaltgold. The brand has a lot of vegan models and the idea behind the brand is to change people's consumption behaviour in the long term. One of the models without animal materials is the Veja V-10 CWL in the colour 'White / Brittany'.
ADIDAS SAMBA *VEGAN*
The popular Samba model from adidas is also available in a vegan version. In the classic 'Footwear White / Core Black / Gum 5' colorway you get the sneaker without any leather. The forward-thinking design looks and feels just like the original.
SAUCONY SHADOW 5000 *MUSHROOM PACK*
The SAUCONY SHADOW 5000 in the colorway 'Tan / Olive' focuses on sustainability. Instead of real leather, Hyphalite is used, a material that consists of 90% bio-based mushroom material and is therefore environmentally friendly and vegan.
NIKE AIR MAX TERRASCAPE 90
The Nike Air Max Terrascape 90 in the colour 'White' has a simple style and is suitable for both sports activities and everyday wear. In addition, the sole is made from recycled rubber. The Terrascape is the latest version of the popular Air Max 90 and stands for sustainability.
ADIDAS X SEAN WOTHERSPOON ORKETRO
RoundTwo founder and sneaker designer Sean Wotherspoon has teamed up with adidas to launch a sneaker that flips the classic 3 Stripe look to bring a style all its own. The 'Off White' design is reminiscent of the early 2000s and is made with natural and renewable materials to conserve non-renewable resources.
PUMA TEVERIS NITRO NOUGHTIES
With the PUMA Teveris in the colour 'PUMA White / Day Dream' Asphaltgold offers a running sneaker that brings a clean sporty 2000s look. The upper is made of white mesh and white synthetic leather overlays. The shiny metallic parts on the heel and toebox complete the look.
