Renew Labs Store Closing

The sustainable fashion movement continues to grow and last month Converse paired with Maggie Zhou, Varsha Yajman and the Converse All Stars to bring us a virtual store located on the garbage patch (10.1010.1°88).

Somewhere in the middle of the Pacific between the United States mainland and Hawaii there is a collection of waste that will take 500 years to decompose without intervention, and that’s if it stops growing. The official closing will take place on the 8th of June and the goal is the clean the waste pile. While you shouldn’t miss out on these sick environmentally friendly drops, you can also take pride in the fact all proceeds go directly to take3.org. Take 3 for the sea is an organization committed to the education and action to take back our oceans. Their mission for everyone is to take 3 pieces of trash when you leave the beach, waterway or anywhere really.

That isn’t the only thing you can take pride in, the shoes themselves were created by innovative minds from all over the world to introduce sustainable features to our sneakers. If performing tricks with durable recycled rubber soles isn’t enough, Converse also uses ink captured from carbon pollution and glow-in-the-dark ink grown from microbes all available in their virtual store. You can also signup for new drops and be transported live to the store sitting on 80,000 tonnes of plastic waste.

So don’t wait visit renewlabs.com and check out what it has to offer, our oceans will thank you.
