This week’s installment of MANLY MONDAYS is for all of you athletes out there, or for those of you that just want to play the part. Adidas makes it easy with their line of eco-conscious orGLAMic footwear. The Superstar 2 Grun Shoes, pictured above, are a fun, eco-conscious version of the Superstar shoe, a basketball shoe that has been around since 1969. While it was difficult to find the exact eco-specs of this style, many of the shoes from the line have vegetable-tanned leather, partly recycled EVA midsoles, and recycled materials used in the outsole. Either way, it is clear that these shoes are a step in the right direction (horrible pun intended). Click here to buy a pair of these orGLAMic kicks.
