We asked readers to share their opinion on Paris sneakers.

How many times have we seen the personalization of fashion items by artists. Remember Louis Vuitton? In my district there is a famous craftsman who made pit shoes. He buried them for some time and afterwards they were aged and worn.
I will not tell you the price.
Now it is absurd to us.
For an ethical question.
Yet you see that he got the his result.
As long as you talk about it…

I’m so out of fashion that if I didn’t read you, I never would have known. It seems to me a total nonsense.
1. Do you want to launch the fashion that even used and dirty is fine? Then use a real used one, not a fictitious aging at exorbitant costs, because it is the exact opposite of the value of the purchase of used goods, which allows the garment to have more lives before ending up in landfills.
2. Do you need people who also think about it? Models or wearers? Maybe a fact of reality was enough, a look at the real world of most people, who use shoes until they are no longer wearable, or at least, this is the piece of the world to which I belong, even if perhaps now, even the guys compete to have everything clean, tidy, new etc.

1,500 euros? For shoes aged on purpose ?! I think it can be compared to how when food is wasted.

Converse propone i modelli Chuck Taylor e Chuck 70 delle famose sneakers All Star in materiali recuperati da scarti di post-consumo e di post-produzione: PET, jeans e cotone riciclati per dare vita alla linea “Renew”.

“La stessa sensazione e aspetto della tradizionale tela Converse, tranne per il fatto che ora è realizzata al 100% in poliestere riciclato proveniente da bottiglie di plastica usate”, così le presenta Converse, o da jeans recuperati dalle discariche o ancora da rifiuti tessili di cotone scartati nei processi di produzione.

English – All Star made of recycled materials thanks to “Renew”, the sustainable project of Converse

Converse is proposing the Chuck Taylor and Chuck 70 models of the famous All Star sneakers made of materials recovered from post-consumer and post-production waste: PET, jeans and recycled cotton to give life to the “Renew” line.

“The same feeling and appearance of the traditional Converse fabric, except that it is now made from 100% recycled polyester from used plastic bottles”, as Converse presents it, or from jeans recovered from landfills or again from textile waste of cotton discarded in production processes.
