adidas is hosting a one-day sustainable fashion pop-up shop in New York City on December 11th, 2021. Eco-conscious shoppers can bring in their pre-loved clothing and shoes in exchange for items on sale during the pop-up. None of the items in the shop will be sold for monetary value—instead, the pop-up works as a trading station to encourage upcycling clothing.
The one-day initiative is tied to the brand's Choose to Give Back pillar. At the event, sustainable shoppers can sift through one-of-a-kind, vintage, and upcycled collections from some of the leading voices of sustainable fashion. Moreover, guests can bring pieces in need of some love for onsite repair courtesy of Eva Joan and customization through live screen-printing from Basketcase Gallery.
