Here’s what we know…

94% of the LV Trainer’s outsole, which comes in green, red, and black hues, is made of recycled polyurethane, increasing its lightness and comfort. The insole is made of 100% recycled polyurethane, while the lining is made of recycled cotton. The upper is made of recycled polyester and corn-based biodegradable plastic, and the tongue is made of recycled polyester. The shoe laces, made from scrap plastic, complete the design.

The packaging for the product has been manufactured from 10% recyclable cardboard as part of its environmental design. The use of the full box’s materials has been lowered by 70% by eliminating the environmental problems associated with the transportation and storage of sneakers. The shoebox’s interior is lined with unprocessed kraft paper, and vegetable ink was used to produce the engraved emblem that welcomes customers.
