The ONE COMMUNITY Shoe Supports the Children's Aid Foundation

— November 23, 2020 — Fashion
Those looking to purchase a gift that gives back this holiday season may be drawn to the ‘ONE COMMUNITY’ Black Canvas Shoe. The new initiative was launched by City Shred alongside a collaboration with George Sully, Founder of Black Designers of Canada, and six coaches and motivators from Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. The custom show is now available for pre-order for $115 as is, or $150 for a customized pair painted by a local youth artist with symbols of "love, peace, and BLM."

100% of all the net proceeds will be donated to 'The Foundation' and City Shred is will match donations with the aim of raising $15,000. In addition, the first 100 pairs sold will also include a complementary wellness package from leading brands.
