The 'Drizzle' Sneaker from Drip Design is Made with TENCEL

— June 22, 2021 — Eco
The 'Drizzle' sneaker is an eco-friendly footwear option from Drip Design that will provide wearers with a distinctly more sustainable take on the classically casual shoe style. The shoes are crafted using a blend of TENCEL material that's sourced from trees and are thus far more eco-friendly when compared to synthetic alternatives on the market. The shoes maintain a lightweight construction that is rated to be 1.7-times lighter than other sneakers with a weight of just 6.7-ounces.

The 'Drizzle' sneaker comes in several color options to choose from and are paired with an activated charcoal-infused insole that will help to prevent odors from building up. This will allow for sock-free wear, while the sole of the shoe is achieved with plant-based core materials and recycled rubber.
