Autumn is a special time of year when the weather starts to feel so fresh, and the leaves falling underfoot remind you that we live in a truly wonderful world. But, as we move outward, it’s important to know that in order to continue to enjoy our beautiful Earth, we must all do our part to protect it. Now, more than ever, consumers are interested in where the materials for their clothing are sourced, and whether or not careful consideration has been given to the sustainability of our planet.
With that in mind, M&F salutes responsible manufacturers, and selected three products worthy of taking you on a guilt-free adventure.
Reebok National Geographic Nano X2 Groove
Get muddy and run in the wilderness! The Nano X2 Grow is the latest iteration of Reebok’s award-winning Nano Training Shoe series, made with at least 50% plant-based materials. The brand’s new National Geographic iteration celebrates our wildlife and avoids using any animal-based products. Reebok and National Geographic say they have teamed up to create a unique blend of designs inspired by their own animal prints and patterns to raise awareness of the care our creatures so desperately need. This exclusive vegan footwear line offers two distinct models, and they’re both available in unisex sizes:
Nano X2 Guru
Inspired by the world’s largest wild cats, bold graphics combine different patterns that pay homage to tigers, cheetahs and jaguars.
Nano X2 Guru
The graphics of this version combine patterns that resemble pythons, puffer fish, poison frogs, scorpions, grizzly bears and other creatures.
Price: Both National Geographic Nano X2 Grow models retail for $160 and are available in stores or Direct from Reebok.
Tantri Cloud Shell Shirt Jacket
