'BLUEVIEW' has developed the 'BLUEVIEW Pacific' sneaker, a fully biodegradable shoe. This shoe incorporates BLUEVIEW's 'PlantKnit,' a machine knitted shoe upper that is completely compostable. BLUEVIEW has also finalized its 'Soleic' biodegradable polyurethane that it spent over six years researching. The result of these sustainability-focused technologies and materials is a sneaker that can completely break down when exposed to air, moisture, and microorganisms over time.
BLUEVIEW hopes to change the trajectory of the plant one step at a time by revolutionizing the footwear industry to be more environmentally friendly. The shoe comes with a removable organic canvas strap that allows the wearer to decide between using the Pacific as a slip-on or as a more complete loafer. Customers can pre-order the BLUEVIEW Pacific sneaker online for $135 USD at BLUEVIEW's website.
