The sustainable OTH shoe model is a product that has exceeded the developer's expectations on Kickstarter. Funded at 170% in just two weeks, the offering boasts a minimalist and unisex exterior that embraces an eco-conscious approach to fashion design.
Since tires are non-biodegradable objects and are globally mass-produced, the OTH silhouette chooses to ethically handle them by incorporating them within the sole of the sustainable shoe. One tire accounts for three pairs of sneakers. With a triad of color options — White Nappa Leather, Gray Suede and Cream Nubuck, the sustainable shoe offering embodies both a timeless and elegant design, as well as a planet-friendly approach to production within the parameters of the fashion industry.
