OAT, Zero Footprint Plantable Sneakers

Posted by admin on Feb 12, 2011 in DESIGN, FASHION AND STYLE, GOOD CAUSES

OAT, a young innovative company founded two years ago by designer Christiaan Maats, presented the fresh Virgin Collection at the Green Fashion Competition of the AIFW 2011. The show featured the sneaker planted in a white wheelbarrow pushed forward by a scantily clad Adam and Eve. ‘Saved from the garden of Eden’ was the theme of the show, building on the idea of a sneaker collection made of ‘all the good stuff mother earth has to offer’.

Aside from being completely biodegradable, the shoes are good-looking, too. They recently won second prize at the Green Fashion Awards at Amsterdam International Fashion Week. They’re not yet available for purchase, we will keep an eye out and update you as soon as they will be on the shelves somewhere around the World.
