Based on Etnies' super-popular Jameson 2 shoe, the Jameson 2 Eco has, as the name suggests, an eco-friendly focus. This x TFTF (Trees For The Future) version takes environmental consciousness a few steps further.
As part of the Etnies skate and BMX collection, this shoe is an all-around lifestyle option that doesn't compromise the board feel or the environment. While the key much-loved areas from the original remain, this low-top shoe also features a faux-Vulc cup sole construction with an STI Foam Lite 1 insole and a thinly padded tongue and collar for maximum comfort. Each shoe is fully vegan, and always made using sustainable fabrics and recycled rubbers.
The real difference in this shoe is that it's part of the new Etnies x TFTF collection. Not only does the purchase of each pair result in the planting of a tree, it also contributes to the following TFTF initiatives:
PROTECTING THE PLANET - The Farmer’s Garden Approach restores degraded land, captures carbon, improves biodiversity and prevents future unsustainable land use practices.
ENDING HUNGER - The average forest garden is home to dozens of food crops, producing access to diverse, nutrient-rich meals year-round.
ENDING POVERTY - Not only are you supporting farmers’ crops of producing fruits and veggies, but farmers also start businesses selling seeds and seedlings, honey, syrup, soap, timber and more.
EMPOWERING WOMEN - Farmer Groups in TFTF’s program are required to be composed of 30% women. Most exceed that benchmark, with many led by or composed entirely of women farmers.
Yep, the Etnies Jameson 2 Eco x TFTF shoes look good and do good. What more can you ask for?
