Reebok Just Launched Its First Certified Plant-Based Sneakers

Reebok Just Launched Its First Certified Plant-Based Sneakers

Vegan sneakerheads will soon be able to score a kinder pair of kicks from Reebok. The popular shoe brand is set to debut its very first vegan sneakers—and they’re as sustainable as they are stylish.

The Forever Floatride GLOW is Reebok’s latest pair of performance running shoes. And if they look familiar, it’s because they are an update to the brand’s award-winning Forever Floatride Energy shoe. They just have a sustainable twist. 

The trainers are USDA-certified plant-based. The vegan sneakers feature four key eco-friendly materials: an algae-based sock-liner, an upper made from eucalyptus, a midsole made of castor beans, and a natural rubber outsole.

You can snag a pair of the brand’s eco-friendly trainers when they launch on Reebok Unlocked on October 1.

Reebok Embraces Plants

What sets Reebok’s Forever Floatride GLOWs apart from traditional running shoes is the fact that they don’t contain oil or natural gas.

Petrochemical products, such as ethylene-vinyl-acetate, are commonly used in performance running shoes (among other unsustainable materials).

The petroleum-based chemicals give sneakers their signature features: a lightweight, breathable feel, water-resistance, and supportive structure. But Reebok was able to utilize the power of “plants and other renewable agricultural elements” to give their plant-based shoes the same qualities.

In a statement, Reebok’s brand president—Matt O’Toole—explained the company’s decision launch the plant-based shoes.

“The earth is a runner’s arena, and we have a responsibility to help detox the world for the athletes who run in it,” O’Toole said. “Our consumers have told us they want more sustainable products, and the running community has been the most vocal and passionate on this issue. We want to help runners perform at their best, while also feeling good about the products they wear.”

Sustainable Shoes

Reebok isn’t the first company to debut eco-friendly, plant-based shoes.

French luxury footwear brand Veja launched what it called the world’s first “post-petroleum” sneaker last year.

The company took five years to develop its vegan CAMPO sneaker range, which features corn leather. The sustainable leather is up to 63 percent biodegradable. And in July, Veja revealed the launch of new vegan sneakers, called Urca, which the company made from food waste.

The Paris-based brand Virón was also founded this year by sustainable footwear experts Mats Rombaut and Julian Romer. The company makes its shoes from PETA-certified vegan or upcycled materials. In lieu of petrol-based PVC materials, Virón makes its leathers from apple and corn waste.
